Superbowl LIII is just around the corner, and while I could care less about the game - I do take my Superbowl snacks seriously.
My spread usually features all the usual suspects. Chicken wings, cheese dip, bell pepper nachos, Jalapeno poppers ... you know the drill. But this year I wanted to make something different.
I decided to try my hand at a low-carb version of a Tasty recipe for Garlic Knot Pizza Dip and I am SO glad that I did! It turned out so great and I love that it is easy to customize and that even those people who aren't counting their carbs will love it.
Ingredients and substitutions
The garlic breadsticks are made from a basic almond flour fathead dough that is brushed with garlic butter. You can substitute any keto bread dough that you like, or even use your favorite traditional or low carb bread.
For the dip you will need:
- Cream Cheese - you can use reduced fat, fat free, or even vegan cream cheese.
- Ricotta Cheese
- Parmesan Cheese
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Basil
- Garlic Powder
- Low Carb Marinara Sauce - The original recipe is actually a white pizza dip, but I prefer marinara. You can leave the marinara out if you prefer.
- Pepperoni or pizza toppings of your choice
Tips for making Keto Pizza Dip
Fathead dough can be a little sticky. When you are forming the breadsticks, use wet hands to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
You may notice that in the original Tasty recipe, the dip and the garlic knots are cooked together in the same pan without anything to separate them.
I tried to do that with this keto version, but it was hard to get the bread sticks crisp enough for my liking. I ended up just putting the dip in an oven-safe bowl, setting it in a cast-iron skillet, then arranging the breadsticks around it. This allowed it to still cook all at once and the presentation is super fun!

📖 Recipe
Garlic Bread Pizza Dip
Ingredients
For the Breadsticks:
- 2.5 cups Low-Moisture, Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese shredded
- 2 oz Cream Cheese
- 2.5 cup Almond Flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 2 Eggs
For the Dip:
- 6 oz Cream Cheese softened
- ¾ cup Ricotta Cheese
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded, divided
- 1 tablespoon Basil
- 2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 cup Low Carb Marinara Sauce
- 1 oz Pepperoni or pizza toppings of your choice
Topping:
- 4 tablespoon Butter melted
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 tablespoon Dried Parsley
Instructions
For the dip:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an oven-safe skillet (approximately 12") with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, parmesan, ¾ cup of the mozzarella, basil, and garlic powder.
- Pour the marinara sauce into the bottom of a round oven-safe dish with at least a 5 cup capacity. Top with dollops of the cheese mixture, evenly dispersing evenly over the marinara.
- Top with the remaining ¼ cup of mozzarella cheese, then with the pepperoni or other pizza toppings.
For the Breadsticks:
- Combine the mozzarella cheese with the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30-second intervals until the 2 cheeses are melted and combine easily.
- Add the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and egg. Stir to combine - I find it easiest to use a rubber spatula.
- Using wet hands, form the dough into small breadsticks, about 1"x3". Arrange the formed breadsticks in the skillet around the dip and with the long side of the breadstick verticle.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the breadsticks are cooked through and the dip is golden brown.
- While the dip and breadsticks are in the oven, prepare the topping by combining the melted butter and spices. When the breadsticks are finished baking, drizzle them with the butter topping.
