Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry mixture, add olive oil and gradually pour in water. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough briefly on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Add a small amount of flour if the dough is too sticky.

After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 7

Cut the dough into long strips, approximately 4-5 inches long and 1/2 inch wide, to form the snack sticks.

Step 8

In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Fry the snack sticks in batches, ensuring they are not overcrowded, for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the fried snack sticks with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 11

Cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy these crunchy low sodium snack sticks as is or with your favorite low sodium dipping sauce.
