🥔 Ingredients
For Keto French Fries:
- 1 cup almond flour (or lupin flour for fewer carbs)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (for brushing or spraying)
Why These Ingredients Work:
The almond flour and cheese form a dough that mimics potato texture when cooked. Coconut flour helps bind and keeps fries firm, while seasonings add that classic fry flavor.
🧾 Ingredient Notes
- Almond Flour: Produces a soft yet crispy fry. For ultra-low carb, use lupin flour instead.
- Cheese: Mozzarella melts well and creates the perfect potato-like consistency.
- Seasonings: Adjust to taste — add onion powder, Cajun spice, or ranch seasoning for variety.
- Oil: Use healthy oils suitable for keto such as avocado or olive oil.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella for about 30–40 seconds until soft. Add almond flour, coconut flour, egg, and all seasonings. Mix well until a dough forms. It should be smooth and non-sticky.
Step 2: Shape the Fries
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll gently to form a thin sheet, about ½ inch thick. Cut into fry-shaped strips using a knife or pizza cutter.
Step 3: Air Frying Method (Recommended)
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush or spray fries with oil. Arrange them in a single layer and air fry for 8–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Step 4: Baking Method
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping once.
Step 5: Serve Hot & Crispy!
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. This helps them firm up and intensifies the crunch. Dip into your favorite keto-friendly sauces and enjoy!
🍴 Serving Suggestions

🧊 Storage Information
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes to re-crisp.
- Freezer: Freeze raw or cooked fries. Place on a tray to freeze individually, then transfer to a bag for up to 2 months.
- Reheating Tip: Air frying gives best results — never microwave, as they will become soft.
💡 Pro Tips & Variations
- Spicy Fries: Add cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the dough.
- Cheesy Parmesan Fries: Sprinkle grated parmesan and parsley after cooking.
- Zucchini Keto Fries: Swap almond flour dough for sliced zucchini for a veggie version.
