Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, softened butter, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix all the ingredients until a dough forms, ensuring that the cheeses and other ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a ball.
- Place one dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangular shape, about 1/8 inch thick. Repeat with the second dough ball.
- Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the rolled-out dough into thin strips, about ½ inch wide and 4-5 inches long.
- Gently transfer the strips onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cheese straw.
- Bake the cheese straws in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Once baked, remove the cheese straws from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
- Store the cooled keto cheese straws in an airtight container, and they will remain crispy for several days.
