Press a few almond slices into the top of each pastry piece for decoration.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and set.
Step 9
Let the pastries cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve and enjoy your delicious low carb almond pastries as a treat!
