Ingredients:

For the dough:

  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg

For the garlic butter:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients and the egg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix with a spoon or your hands until a dough forms. If the dough becomes too stiff, you can microwave it for an additional 10-15 seconds to soften it.
  5. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope and tie into a knot. Place the knots on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the knots are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. While the knots are baking, prepare the garlic butter. In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant. Stir in the chopped parsley and a pinch of salt.
  8. Remove the knots from the oven and immediately brush them with the garlic butter mixture while they are still hot.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Garlic Knots as a delicious side dish or snack.
