Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup tapioca starch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup water
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt for topping

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk together to ensure the baking soda is evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat the water to a warm temperature, about 110°F (43°C).

Step 4

Add the warm water, olive oil, egg, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients. Mix until thoroughly combined, forming a dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of almond flour until it is workable.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope shape about 1/2 inch thick and cut each rope into 1-inch nuggets.

Step 6

Place the pretzel nuggets on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.

Step 7

Brush each nugget lightly with a small amount of olive oil or beaten egg, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
