4 tsp baking powder

Garlic-Parmesan knots are a delicious and savory addition to any meal. These low-carb, gluten-free knots are made with a blend of almond flour and coconut flour, giving them a unique and satisfying texture. The rich flavors of garlic, parmesan, and mozzarella make these appetizers irresistible.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well.
3. Melt the Cheese:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Pour the melted cheese into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the beaten egg and mix until a dough forms. You might need to use your hands to knead it together effectively.
5. Form the Knots:
- Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope, then tie each rope into a knot. Place the knots onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Prepare the Garlic-Butter Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and grated parmesan cheese.
7. Brush Knots with Garlic-Butter Mixture:
- Generously brush the knots with half of the garlic-butter mixture. Save the other half for later.
8. Bake the Knots:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
9. Final Touch:
- Once baked, remove the knots from the oven and brush them with the remaining garlic-butter mixture.
- Sprinkle with dried parsley for garnish.
10. Serve:
- Serve warm and enjoy the delicious Garlic-Parmesan Knots as a side dish or a snack!
Tips:
- Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature to ensure even baking.
- Use finely grated parmesan cheese for a smoother dough mixture.
- Allow the mozzarella cheese to melt slightly before mixing it with the other ingredients for easier handling.
- You can add a sprinkle of extra parmesan cheese and some chopped fresh parsley on top before baking for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
- Serve the knots warm for the best taste and texture. You can reheat them in the oven if they cool down.
These Garlic-Parmesan knots are a delightful way to elevate any meal. Their rich, cheesy flavor combined with the aromatic garlic makes them a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy them as a side dish, appetizer, or even a snack. They are versatile and perfect for any occasion.
