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! 🧀🥓🍟
