3-Ingredient Low Carb Fries

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Blend the Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and egg. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and no curds remain. This is the most important step for the right texture! If using, add any optional seasonings and pulse to combine.
Pipe the "Fries": Transfer the smooth mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large, plain tip (about ½-inch opening). If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a heavy-duty zip-top bag and snip off one corner.
- Pipe the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into 3-4 inch long lines, about ½-inch wide, spacing them about 1 inch apart. They will puff up as they bake.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fries are puffed, firm to the touch, and deep golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed fresh and warm!

Tip #1: Cottage Cheese is Key. Using full-fat cottage cheese will yield a richer flavor and better texture, but low-fat will also work. Ensure it's well-blended until completely smooth.
Tip #2: Grate Your Own Parmesan. Pre-grated Parmesan often contains anti-caking agents like potato starch, which can affect the texture and carb count. For the best results and truest low-carb outcome, grate a block of Parmesan cheese yourself.
For Extra Crispiness: After baking, you can turn off the oven and let the fries sit inside for another 10-15 minutes with the door slightly ajar to dry them out further.
Dipper's Delight: These "fries" are perfect for dipping! Serve with sugar-free ketchup, ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or a spicy mayo.
Flavor Twists:
- Garlic Herb: Add ½ tsp garlic powder and 1 tsp of Italian seasoning.
- Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.
- Everything Bagel: Sprinkle the piped fries with everything bagel seasoning before baking.

Enjoy your delicious, high-protein, low-carb "fries"!
