Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup coconut oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.
Microwave the cheese mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted cheese with almond flour, egg, salt, paprika, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until it forms a dough.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out the dough into a flat rectangle, about half an inch thick.
Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into fry-shaped sticks.
Place the keto fries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until lightly golden.
In a deep frying pan or deep fryer, heat coconut oil to about 350°F (175°C). Fry the baked fries in batches for 1-2 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
For the cheese sauce, heat the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Add the heavy cream and garlic powder to the saucepan and stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is combined.
Slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese to the saucepan, stirring continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Serve the keto fries hot with the cheese sauce on the side or drizzled on top.
