If you're missing the aroma and comfort of warm, buttery garlic breadsticks, this keto-friendly version will more than satisfy your cravings. These Keto Garlic Breadsticks are low in carbs, high in fat, and made with wholesome ingredients like almond flour, psyllium husk, and real butter. In under 30 minutes, you can enjoy soft, golden garlic breadsticks without any guilt.
Why Keto Garlic Breadsticks Are a Smart Choice
Traditional breadsticks are typically high in refined carbs, which spike blood sugar and derail ketosis. In contrast, this keto version provides just 6.3g of carbs per serving and offers 24.7g of healthy fats—making it ideal for maintaining energy levels on a ketogenic diet.
They’re also gluten-free and packed with psyllium husk, which is known to aid digestion, lower cholesterol, and support gut health. Almond flour is rich in vitamin E and magnesium, both essential for heart and metabolic health, as explained by the USDA FoodData Central.
