Ingredients

• 2 cups cheddar cheese
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Add the cheddar cheese and one large egg to the bowl. Mix everything together until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 5

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the flattened dough into stick shapes about 1/2-inch wide and 3 inches long.

Step 6

Carefully transfer each stick onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each stick to expand as they bake.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the cheese sticks are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the cheese sticks to cool slightly on the baking sheet. They will become firmer as they cool.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
