These cheesy two-bite rolls make a great snack, but they can also act as an epic dinner roll. Fresh from the air-fryer, they’re cheesy-chewy. Let them cool for a bit, and their texture is more like a classic bread roll.
Keto Air-Fryer Garlic Cheese Rolls
Equipment:
- Air Fryer
Ingredients List
- cooking spray
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1 (8-oz bag/2 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder, divided
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried Italian herb blend
- 2 tsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Line the air-fryer basket with a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper then spray the foil with a little cooking spray.
- Fill a small to medium pot with a few inches of water and bring to a simmer.
- In a heatproof bowl that is large enough to rest on top of the pot without the bottom touching the water, combine the almond flour, mozzarella cheese, 3/4 teaspoon of the garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the bowl over the pot of simmering water. Stir until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes a damp dough, about 6 minutes.
- Scrape out the dough onto a cutting board and let cool enough to handle, 3 to 4 minutes. Working quickly, knead the dough into a smooth ball, pat it out, and cut the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the dried herbs, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the Parmesan cheese, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Dip each ball in the herb and cheese mixture, then place it in onto the prepared air-fryer basket. Bake at 400°F (200°C) until they show a golden brown crust, 8 minutes. Let cool for 3 minutes, then enjoy!

Amazing! We all love these! Question, mine do not come out as balls. It looks more like a flat pull-apart bread. The bottom comes out soggy, so I have to flip it and cook it again. What am I doing wrong?
Good flavor
Do this recipe work with an oven? How long is the bakingtime?
To convert the air-fryer recipe to an oven-cooked one, a general rule of thumb is to increase the suggested temperature by 25°F and then add to the cook time by about 20%.
So, place prepared rolls in an oven preheated to 450°F (230°C), immediately reduce heat to 425°F (220°C) and bake until they show a golden brown crust, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Love these!!! Absolutely delicious!! 🙂
