Carnivore Fries
These crispy, cheesy, and delicious fries are 100% carnivore-diet-friendly! Made with simple animal-based ingredients, they’re perfect as a snack or side dish. Serve with sour cream for dipping and enjoy the ultimate carnivore comfort food.
Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 3.5 oz (100g) Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 1.4 oz (40g) cottage cheese (smooth and drained if watery)
- Sour cream (for serving, optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Blend the Ingredients:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the egg, Parmesan cheese, and cottage cheese. Blend until you achieve a smooth and thick batter.
3. Shape the Fries:
- Spread the batter evenly onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, forming a thin, rectangular layer (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the mixture is set and firm. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
4. Cut and Crisp the Fries:
- Once cooled enough to handle, cut the baked layer into fry-shaped strips.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter, ghee, or tallow for frying.
- Fry the strips for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve:
- Serve your carnivore fries warm with sour cream for dipping, or enjoy as-is!
Tips for Success:
- Cheese Texture: Use finely grated Parmesan for the best consistency.
- Frying: Be gentle when flipping the fries, as they can be delicate.
- Make-Ahead: The baked layer can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to fry.
Optional Additions:
- Sprinkle with crispy bacon bits or extra Parmesan after frying for added flavor.
- Drizzle with melted butter or ghee for an extra indulgent touch.
Enjoy these Carnivore Fries for a guilt-free, satisfying treat that fits perfectly into your zero-carb lifestyle! 🧀🥓🍟
