Keto cheese sticks are a low carb appetizer that is easy to make in the air fryer. This family friendly keto appetizer recipe is great for the holidays or parties that everyone will eat.
Who doesn't love fried cheese? I remember ordering cheese sticks anytime I had the chance when I was a kid!
Now I'm looking for a little different version than my childhood favorite. Jarlsberg cheese and my air fryer helped me to create a new spin on original cheese sticks.
