Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 oz cream cheese

1 large egg

1 ½ cups almond flour

1 tsp baking powder

2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp salt

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish, optional)

Sugar-free marinara sauce (for dipping, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to ensure the breadsticks release easily after baking.

    Melt the Cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Heat the mixture in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well in between each interval. Continue until the cheeses are fully melted and smooth, which should take about 1 to 1.5 minutes.

      Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt until evenly distributed.

        Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the melted cheese mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Crack the egg into the bowl as well, and mix everything together until a cohesive dough forms. You may need to use your hands to knead the dough lightly to fully incorporate all ingredients. The final dough will have a slightly sticky texture.

          Shape the Breadsticks: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, flatten the dough into a rectangle approximately ½ inch thick. To make it easier to cut into strips later, lightly score the dough to create lines where you will slice the breadsticks.

            Add a Cheese Topping: Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the flattened dough. If you want to enhance the garlic flavor, consider adding an extra sprinkle of garlic powder on top.

              Bake the Breadsticks: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the top looks bubbly.

                Cool and Cut: After baking, carefully remove the breadsticks from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Using the lines you scored earlier, cut the breadsticks into desired sizes.

                  Serve and Enjoy: If you like, garnish the breadsticks with finely chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve them warm alongside a small bowl of sugar-free marinara sauce for dipping.
