Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and almond flour.
- Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the cheese is melted. Stir to combine until smooth and dough-like.
- Add the Egg:
- Let the mixture cool for a minute, then add the egg. Mix until fully combined. The dough should be soft but firm enough to hold shape.
- Shape the Cheetos:
- Take small portions of the dough and roll them into thin, Cheeto-like sticks using your hands.
- Place the sticks on the lined baking sheet, spacing them out so they don’t touch.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Check frequently toward the end of the baking time to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They will firm up more as they cool. Enjoy your crispy Keto Cheetos!

Tips:
- Seasoning: Add some garlic powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper to the dough for extra flavor. You can also sprinkle them with powdered cheese or chili powder after baking for a more authentic Cheeto taste.
- Cheese options: Mozzarella gives a mild flavor, but you can experiment with other cheeses like cheddar or Parmesan for a sharper taste.
- Storage: Store the Cheetos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If they lose their crunch, pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to crisp them up again.
- Shaping: If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before shaping.
