Make your taste buds sing with this Air Fried Feta Psiti. Who doesn't love a delicious baked cheese? And one that comes together so quickly in your air fryer? Even better.
What Makes This Fried Cheese So Good?
- Fast. Ready in under 30 minutes.
- Easy. Made in your air fryer, so very little clean up involved.
- Delicious. A great combination of sweet and spicy with the creaminess of the cheese.
- Low Carb. 10 net carbs per serving, but incredibly satisfying.
Air Fried Feta With Honey
I love cheese. I'm so glad that cheese is a low-carb food and is a Keto safe food because I absolutely love it. My stomach doesn't like milk, but butter, cream, cheese, and cream cheese are where it's at for me.
This Air Fried Feta is absolutely delicious and comes together with very little time or preparation. It's actually a perfect last-minute company dish because really Feta keeps forever, and as long as you have a chunk of that in your fridge, a few minutes and you could be snacking on something that tastes like it took a while to put together.
This is best served with pita chips, nut and seed bread, low carb crackers, or even rounds of fresh pita bread. It makes an excellent appetizer, snack, or a little late-night treat for when you're feeling hungry.
How To Make Fried Feta Cheese
DO NOT put this directly into your Air Fryer. You will need to put the cheese in an oven-safe container and then put it in your Air Fryer to cook. Otherwise, your Air Fryer will be full of cheese, which sounds delicious, but would be a crazy hard mess to clean.
- Cut the block of feta in half, and then cut each thinner slice half to yield 4 pieces.
- Arrange these on a heat-proof serving dish
- Drizzle the cheese with olive oil, using a silicone basting brush to spread the oil evenly. Then sprinkle the red pepper flakes and oregano.
- Top with honey using a silicone basting brush to spread the honey around evenly.
- Place the dish in the air fryer basket.
- Set the air fryer to 400F for 10 minutes.
- Remove when done, use the basting brush to spread any oil and honey that has rendered to the bottom, and serve.

Hi Urvashi,
Can I make this recipe without an air fryer? I don't have one and haven't decided I need one.
Thanks!
