Welcome to my garlic breadsticks recipes made from almond flour. This is also delightfully low carb and gluten free.
These are best enjoyed immediately from the oven. Once you have slathered the breadsticks with garlic butter I implore you to eat them there and then. We munched through these and could not finish them all as I was also baking other items to taste test too. So a few were set aside the next day. I did not care for them and would now only eat them once they are baked. Mind you, they were very crunchy the next day, so perhaps this is a matter of personal taste. If you make a batch and keep a couple for the next day, let me know your thoughts.
Low Carb & Gluten Free
When you are rolling out the dough I recommend that you use wet hands as the dough is sticky. That way the sticks are more pliable and easier to handle. Feel free to get creative with the dough and make different shapes or twists too. You could also sprinkle on some grated Parmesan cheese if you so wished. For me, I just wanted plain breadsticks flavoured with garlic butter and this recipe delivered.
Garlic Breadsticks
Sometimes I think that there is nothing better than the smell of garlic baking. Well, there are lots of smells that I enjoy but the smell of garlic is up there amongst my favourites. Once you brush these with the garlic butter you will be hovering around the kitchen with one on the timer for them to be ready as they smell fantastic. Feel free to add more garlic butter than the recipe too. Next time I might double up the butter! Yum!
