Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 60 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 500 milliliters Coconut oil (or avocado oil) for frying
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until melted. Stir to combine into a smooth mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.
Add the melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or your hands to knead everything together into a uniform dough.
Pinch off small amounts of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls using your hands. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a deep frying pan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough in it; it should sizzle and float to the surface.
Carefully drop the balls into the hot oil, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Crispy Fried Balls with your favorite dipping sauce or as they are!
