Carnivore Garlic Breadsticks (Zero Carb, Amazing Flavor!)
These are crunchy, cheesy, garlicky, and totally zero-carb — perfect for anyone on a carnivore, keto, or low-carb diet. Here’s how to make them:
🧄 Ingredients:
-
1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
2 oz cream cheese
-
1 large egg
-
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or pork rind crumbs for extra crispiness)
-
1 tsp garlic powder (optional for purists, but popular in carnivore recipes)
-
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning or dried oregano (optional)
-
Pinch of salt
🔥 Topping (Optional but Delicious):
-
1 tbsp melted butter
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder or minced garlic
-
Sprinkle of more Parmesan or mozzarella
🍴 Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Melt the cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together (about 1-1.5 minutes), stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
-
Mix dough: Let the cheese cool slightly, then mix in the egg, Parmesan (or pork rinds), garlic powder, and seasoning. Stir until a sticky dough forms. You may need to knead it by hand a bit to fully incorporate.
-
Shape into breadsticks: Spread the dough into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick) on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Use wet hands or another sheet of parchment on top to press it flat.
-
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges.
-
Add topping (optional): Brush with melted garlic butter and sprinkle with more cheese. Return to oven for another 2-3 minutes if you want it extra melty on top.
-
Cool slightly, slice, and serve!
🔁 Tips & Variations:
-
Use pork rind crumbs instead of Parmesan for zero carbs and extra crunch.
-
Want them crispier? Broil for the last 1-2 minutes.
-
Dip in warm bone broth, melted butter, or a carnivore-friendly sauce like bacon fat + garlic.
