Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15–18 minutes
Total Time: 30–35 minutes
Servings: 8 knots
Ingredients
For the Keto Knots:
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
For the Garlic Parmesan Butter:
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Melt the cheese: Add mozzarella and cream cheese to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
3. Prepare the dough: Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and Parmesan. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough becomes sticky, let it cool slightly.
4. Shape the knots: Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope about 5–6 inches long. Tie each rope into a loose knot and tuck the ends underneath.
5. Bake: Arrange the knots on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Make garlic butter: Mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
7. Brush and serve: Brush the warm knots generously with garlic Parmesan butter. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.
