🧂 Ingredients
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1/3 cup almond flour
-
1 large egg yolk
(Optional: salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika for extra flavor)
👩🍳 Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) or preheat your air fryer to 370°F.
-
Melt the cheese:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese in 20-second intervals until fully melted and stretchy (usually about 1 minute total). -
Mix the dough:
Add almond flour and egg yolk to the melted cheese. Stir well until a soft dough forms. You can use your hands or a spatula. If it's sticky, chill for a few minutes. -
Shape into fries:
Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Cut into fry-like strips using a knife or pizza cutter. -
Bake or air fry:
-
Oven: Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
-
Air fryer: Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping once.
-
-
Cool & serve:
Let the fries cool slightly before serving — they crisp up more as they rest!
🍴 Serving Ideas
-
Dips: Ranch, sugar-free ketchup, garlic aioli, spicy mustard
-
Toppers: Sprinkle with Parmesan, herbs, or a pinch of smoked paprika
-
Pairings: Bunless burgers, lettuce-wrap sandwiches, grilled chicken
🧊 Storage Tips
-
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
-
Reheat in the air fryer or oven for best crispiness — avoid microwaving if possible.
-
Make ahead: You can prep and freeze the raw dough strips. Bake straight from frozen — just add a couple extra minutes to the cook time.
