The lovely subtle orange zest citrus flavor with some good olive oil is a winning combination for this Italian treat. You can also freeze these treats…if you have any left! Perfect along side your coffee or tea, or as a yummy snack. Makes about two dozen biscotti. Enjoy!
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and orange zest (and nuts if using) to a large bowl and set aside. Then add the olive oil, milk, aquafaba and vanilla to another bowl or glass measuring cup and mix together with a whisk. Then add wet ingredients to the large bowl of dry ingredients and mix together with a spatula or mixer until well combined. Add nuts if using and blend in with a spatula. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and place onto a parchment lined cookie sheet (or two sheets if needed). Shape each into a flat log that is about 12 inches long and about 1/2 inch high. Bake for about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Lower the heat to 250F and bake another 10 minutes. Remove the pan or pans from the oven. When cool enough to touch, place the loaves on a cutting board and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Place the slices back on the baking sheets and bake another 12-15 minutes to crisp, rotating the pans halfway through. Remove from oven and let cool.
