Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Can substitute Monterey Jack or cheddar
- 3/4 cup almond flour Swap with 1/2 the amount of coconut flour for nut-free
- 1 large egg Use a flax egg as an egg-free alternative
Seasoning (Optional)
- sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika to taste
Instructions
- Melt the shredded mozzarella in a microwave-safe bowl for 60–90 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
- Stir in the almond flour and egg while the cheese is still warm. Mix until a soft dough forms. Add extra almond flour if too sticky.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Slice into fry-shaped sticks.
- For oven: Bake at 400°F for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway. For air fryer: Cook at 380°F for 10–12 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Season with sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, or your favorite blend. Serve hot.
Notes
For extra crispiness, let the fries cool for 2–3 minutes after cooking — this helps the edges firm up even more.
