Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and optional cayenne pepper.
- Add Cheese: Stir the shredded cheddar cheese into the dry mixture.
- Add Egg: Beat the egg and add it to the cheese and flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms. The dough will be somewhat sticky.
- Shape the Cheetos: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the dough into small, thin logs or sticks. You can also shape them into puffs if you prefer.
- Bake: Arrange the shaped dough on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Cool: Allow the Cheetos to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes; they will crisp up further as they cool.
- Store: Once completely cooled, store your keto Cheetos in an airtight container. They should stay crisp for several days.
Enjoy your homemade keto Cheetos as a snack or a crunchy topping for salads and other dishes!
