Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, salt, and ground fennel seeds. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients, mixing with a spatula until the dough begins to come together. Add the warm water one tablespoon at a time, kneading gently with your hands, until you achieve a pliable, non-sticky dough.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin rope about 12 cm (5 inches) long, then form it into a ring by pinching the ends together firmly.
Place the taralli onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. If desired, brush the tops lightly with additional olive oil for extra crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the taralli are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. The taralli will crisp up further as they cool.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
