Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon sea salt (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until the cheeses are melted and blend smoothly when stirred together.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, sea salt, and garlic powder.
Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a dough forms. You may need to use your hands to ensure everything is well combined.
Divide the dough into 12 equal parts. Roll each piece into stick shapes, about 1/2 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the salt sticks with melted butter and sprinkle sea salt on top to your preference.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salt sticks are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These salt sticks are best enjoyed warm and can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
