Thin-Crust Fathead Pizza Dough
Made without cream cheese, this crust is not only keto-friendly but also tastes just like pizza! Even though it's thin, the xanthan gum helps make it sturdy enough to pick up and hold all your favorite pizza toppings. Note that the yeast won't help the dough rise since it's lacking sugar to activate it; it is solely included to add traditional bread-like flavor. Shred your own mozzarella from a block of cheese instead of buying pre-shredded; the latter does not melt well.
Salami, Ham, and Pepperoni Sandwiches in the Air Fryer
This three-meat sandwich is crispy on the outside, tender and cheesy on the inside, with salami being the star of the show. Your air fryer crisps up the meat and toasts the bread at the same time and in only 5 minutes. Feel free to sub mozzarella cheese for the provolone.
Low Carb Zucchini Fries
A baked zucchini fry with crushed almonds replacing bread crumbs makes a very light, tasty dish. Zucchini are prepped first to get rid of extra liquid so they do not become soggy in the oven. Like having fried food without the oil.
