👩‍🍳 How to Make 3-Ingredient Low Carb Fries

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2: Make the Dough

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the shredded cheese in 30-second intervals until smooth. Stir in the almond flour and beaten egg until it forms a dough-like consistency.

Step 3: Shape the Fries

Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Slice into thin strips using a pizza cutter or knife to form "fries."

Step 4: Bake or Air Fry

Oven: Bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Air Fryer: Air fry in a single layer for 8–10 minutes, shaking once, until golden.

Step 5: Serve

Let cool for a few minutes before serving — they’ll firm up as they cool. Serve with sugar-free ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
