Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup warm water
- 0.25 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups oil for frying (e.g., avocado or olive oil)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, olive oil, and warm water.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix thoroughly until a dough forms. If too sticky, add a small amount of coconut flour.
Step 4
Fold in the grated parmesan cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for about 10 minutes to allow the ingredients to absorb the moisture.
Step 6
Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a stick shape using your hands. Aim for approximately 4-5 inches in length and about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 7
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
Carefully place a few sticks into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until each stick becomes golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried dough sticks from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough sticks.
Step 11
Allow the fried sticks to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a snack, or pair with your favorite dipping sauce.
