Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the erythritol and eggs until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla and almond extracts to the egg mixture and mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Gently fold in the sliced almonds until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2 inches wide, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
Once slightly cooled, use a serrated knife to slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick biscotti.
Place the biscotti cut side down back onto the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are dry and crisp.
Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
