Better cheese sticks

I like cheese sticks (the usual mozzarella, or sharp cheddar), but get sick of just eating them cold. So sometimes I put them on a plate, add some spices and dried onion, and microwave them for 30 seconds. This liquifies them and makes them a nice warm smooth treat.

Air Fryer FTW

My air fryer has made eating low carb much nicer, as I can now quickly and easily have freshly cooked meat and low-carb veggies, with a crisp on them.

I bought this one, and have no complaints, but there’s lots of other choices as well.

Tips:

  • Move stuff around/shake it halfway through for more even crisping
  • I use spray oil (coconut or olive), this helps things get browned/crispy more easily
  • I cook everything at the default 400 F and just adjust the time as needed
  • Let it cool down before you wash it (important for all non-stick cookware)
