π₯ 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
- Β½ tsp garlic powder
- Β½ tsp paprika
- Β½ tsp salt
- ΒΌ 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.
π§Ύ 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 β add onion powder, Cajun spice, or ranch seasoning for variety.
- Oil: Use healthy oils suitable for keto such as avocado or olive oil.
π©βπ³ Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella for about 30β40 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 Β½ inch thick. Cut into fry-shaped strips using a knife or pizza cutter.
Step 3: Air Frying Method (Recommended)
Preheat the air fryer to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Lightly brush or spray fries with oil. Arrange them in a single layer and air fry for 8β12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Step 4: Baking Method
Preheat oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Place fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake for 15β20 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!
