Keto Halloumi Fries – Crunchy Fried Cheese Recipe

Sharing is caring!

What better keto fries are than ones made entirely of cheese! Our crunchy Keto Halloumi Cheese Fries recipe is crisp on the outside and soft and salty in the center.

Can’t find delicious haloumi cheese? You can also use Saganaki or Bread Cheese.

When cooking with tallow or lard, it very important to use a splatter guard. The fat spits and can burn you as well as coating your kitchen.

This keto fries recipe makes 4 serves. 1 serving is about 6 fries with sauce and has 1g net carbs.

We recommend cooking your Keto Cheese Fries fresh. Cooked and chilled halloumi cheese just isn’t as good!

Keto Halloumi Fries Ingredients

• 8 ounces of Halloumi Cheese
• 2 ounces of Tallow, or Lard
• 1 serve of Low Carb Marinara Sauce for dipping.

How To Make Keto Halloumi Fries

1. Slice the halloumi into fries at least 7mm/0.3in thick and sit on a paper towel to dry.
2. Place the tallow into a large non-stick frying pan and place over medium to high heat. You want the tallow to be around 170C/340F.
3. Gently add the halloumi pieces, I suggest using a pair of tongs as the tallow will spit hot fat.
4. Once all the halloumi is added, cover the pan with a splatter guard.
5. Cook the halloumi for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crunchy.
6. Serve with a side of Low Carb Marinara Sauce for dipping.
