Welcome back to the channel! Today, we are diving into two exciting recipes that combine the popularity of air fryer cooking with the viral trends from TikTok. Both recipes utilize low-carb tortillas, making them perfect for those following a keto diet. We will be making a savory Cheesy Garlic Bread and a sweet treat, Reese's Cheesecake Pinwheels. Let’s get started!
Recipe 1: Air Fryer Cheesy Garlic Bread
Ingredients
- Low-carb tortillas (La Banderita Carb Counter recommended)
- Garlic butter (softened butter mixed with minced garlic and dried herbs)
- Mozzarella cheese (part-skim, low moisture)
- Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic and dried herbs (Italian seasoning and parsley flakes). This will be used to smear on the tortillas.
- Assemble the Tortillas: Take two low-carb tortillas and spread a generous layer of garlic butter on each.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle a good amount of mozzarella cheese on top of one tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
- Create a Double-Decker: Place the second tortilla on top of the first, creating a double-decker cheesy garlic bread.
- Air Fry: Place the assembled tortillas on a piece of parchment paper and air fry at 400°F for 5 to 10 minutes. Check at 5 minutes to avoid burning.
- Serve: Once done, let it cool slightly, cut into strips, and enjoy your cheesy garlic bread!
