Equipment

  • 3 to 5-quart air fryer

Ingredients
  

Basic Version (Strict Carnivore Diet):

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Flexible Carnivore (with optional fat):

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp butter optional, for richer flavor

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
  • Prepare the cheese bites: Using a tablespoon or small scoop, form mounds of shredded cheddar on a parchment-lined tray. Press each mound gently into a flat disc.
  • Air fry the cheese: Place the cheese discs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6–8 minutes, until melted and crispy at the edges.
  • Cool and crisp: Remove from the air fryer and let sit for 1–2 minutes to finish crisping.
  • Serve: Enjoy warm as a crunchy snack or savory side.

Notes

Variations (Flexible Carnivore Diet):

Buttery Cheddar Bites:
  • Drizzle melted butter over the cheese bites before serving for added richness.
Spicy Cheddar Bites:
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the cheese mixture for heat.
