Keto Garlic Fingers

Keto Garlic Fingers with donair sauce is the low-carb version of a Canadian favorite. Top these cheesy garlic breadsticks with a sweet, tangy dipping sauce in this traditional Maritime dish. The keto version retains the entire flavor without the added carbohydrates by using a cheesy almond flour crust in place of high-carb dough. Cook these Keto Garlic Fingers to perfection, then stuff them with mozzarella, garlic butter, and herbs for a crispy yet soft bite. Counterbalance the creamy richness of the Donair sauce with the salty cheese and garlic. Make a batch and savor a little bit of the East Coast while adhering to your keto diet.

DONAIR SAUCE:

INGREDIENT NOTES:

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• Utilize less moisture-containing mozzarella to prevent sogginess for the crust. It provides keto dough with the nicest texture.

ALMOND FLOUR:

• Use fine almond flour if you want a smooth, bread-like base. Stay away from almond meal to avoid a gritty crust.

CREAM CHEESE:

• Cream cheese gives the crust a rich, creamy texture while also aiding in dough binding.

EGGS:

• The egg gives the dough structure and serves as a binder.

BUTTER:

• Melted butter adds taste and aids in baking by crisping the crust.

GARLIC:

• Fresh garlic pieces provide strong taste of garlic for your garlic fingers.

PARSLEY:

• Dried parsley provides the hue and herbaceous flavor in the dish.

MAYONNAISE:

• Mayonnaise makes the Donair sauce’s creamy base, which also keeps it keto-friendly.

ERYTHRITOL POWDER:

• Use Erythritol powder, which sweetens the sauce without adding carbohydrates.

WHITE VINEGAR:

• White vinegar provides the sauce’s distinctive acidic balance against the sweetness.
