Ingredients (Makes About 12 Breadsticks)

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and egg. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Add almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until a soft dough forms. The dough should be thick but spreadable.

Step 4: Shape and Bake

Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick, then cut into breadstick shapes using a knife or spatula. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these breadsticks warm with marinara sauce, garlic yogurt dip, or a light cream cheese spread. They also work well alongside salads, soups, or as a low-carb alternative to traditional bread.

Storage Tips

Store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
