Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the cheddar cheese and one large egg to the bowl. Mix everything together until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the flattened dough into stick shapes about 1/2-inch wide and 3 inches long.
Carefully transfer each stick onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each stick to expand as they bake.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the cheese sticks are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow the cheese sticks to cool slightly on the baking sheet. They will become firmer as they cool.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
