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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.
Step 3
Add the melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or your hands to knead everything together into a uniform dough.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Crispy Fried Balls with your favorite dipping sauce or as they are!
