Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchinis, cut into fry-shaped sticks
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil spray
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for spice

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the zucchini by cutting them into uniform fry-shaped sticks, about 1/2-inch thick. Pat them completely dry with paper towels - this is crucial for maximum crispiness!
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper. This creates our keto-friendly crispy coating.
  3. Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture. Make sure each fry is evenly covered for that perfect crunch.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil and arrange the coated zucchini fries in a single layer, making sure they don't touch.
  5. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce!

Notes

The secret to crispy zucchini fries is removing as much moisture as possible. Pat them dry and consider salting them lightly for 10 minutes, then pat dry again. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket and cook in batches if needed. These are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer.
