Why These Cheesy Breadsticks Are Perfect for Keto

Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
Toppings:
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a food processor, combine the mozzarella, eggs, coconut flour, and salt.
- Process the mixture until it’s smooth and evenly blended.
- Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten it into a square about 1-inch thick using your hands or a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
- Allow the breadsticks to cool for 10–15 minutes to set the texture before slicing into sticks.
- Serve warm, ideally with a keto-friendly dipping sauce like low-carb marinara.
Health Perks of Coconut Flour
Coconut flour is rich in dietary fiber, which helps support digestion and promote a feeling of fullness. It's also naturally gluten-free, making these breadsticks a great option for those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.
With a combination of healthy fats and minimal carbs, these cheesy sticks are a smart and satisfying alternative to carb-heavy snacks.
