    Craving fries on your low-carb diet?

    We all love chips and sweet potato fries but the carb content they contain makes them impossible to fit into a keto diet.

    Have no fear — introducing halloumi fries!

    A crispy crunch, soft and chewy cheese coated in spicy paprika and almond flour to create the perfect side or appetizer. Quick and easy to make, they're a great choice on those days you need a delicious snack too!

    Halloumi Cheese

    Halloumi cheese is a good source of protein and calcium so it fuels you with good nutrients while you enjoy its squeaky, crunchy texture. Made from goat and sheep's milk, it's a semi-hard cheese that is perfect for frying or grilling.

    Fried halloumi cheese works great because it has a high melting point making it the ideal cheese for frying and holding its shape. This also makes it a very popular meat substitute for vegetarians or those wanting to cut down on their meat intake.

    How to Make Halloumi Fries

    We'll be using pan-fried halloumi for this recipe but you can also bake or make them deep-fried. To get started, cut the halloumi cheese into fry-like shapes. I like to make thick slices so that you get a delicious chewy bite each time.

    Pan fried halloumi ingredients

    In a small mixing bowl combine the paprika and almond flour. Roll the halloumi fries in the paprika mixture so that they're coated evenly.

    In a wide pan heat your sunflower oil over medium heat and fry the halloumi fries until golden brown. This should take around 2-3 minutes and you'll want to keep turning them to make sure they're evenly cooked.

    Fried halloumi cheese for halloumi fries

    Transfer the halloumi fries onto a plate lined with kitchen paper/paper towel to absorb all the excess oil. Sprinkle the fries with salt and serve hot with your favorite low-carb dip. Full-fat sour cream and low-carb Greek yogurt go well with these delicious halloumi fries!
