Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Rolling Pin
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour 100g
- 1 cup mature cheddar cheese finely grated, 5.3 ounces/150g
- 1 teaspoon psyllium husk or ground flaxseed
- 1 medium egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- sesame seeds optional, to coat
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cheese straws bake evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated cheddar cheese, and psyllium husk or ground flaxseed. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Crack the egg into the bowl and drizzle in the olive oil. Mix until a dough starts to form. You may need to use your hands to get everything combined thoroughly.
- On a piece of parchment paper, transfer the dough and flatten it slightly. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top and press them gently into the dough. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into strips, making them as wide or narrow as you prefer.
- Transfer the strips to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese straws are golden and crispy.
- Once baked, allow the cheese straws to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Keto Cheese Straws as a snack or with your favorite dip!
Notes
- Store cheese straws in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain crispiness.
- Customize flavor by adding herbs, spices, or swapping cheese varieties like mozzarella or gouda.
- If dough is crumbly, add a little more olive oil or water to help it bind better.
