Ingredients
  

  • For the zucchini fries
  • 2 medium zucchini.
  • 2 large eggs.
  • ½ cup finely ground almond flour.
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder.
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika.
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning.
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste.
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  • Olive oil or avocado oil spray.
  • Optional dipping sauces
  • Keto ranch dressing.
  • Lemon garlic aioli.
  • Sugar-free ketchup.
  • Low-carb marinara sauce.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or place a lightly greased wire rack over the sheet.
  • Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim the ends, cut each zucchini in half lengthwise, and slice each half into evenly sized sticks.
  • Place the zucchini sticks on paper towels and pat them thoroughly dry. Removing excess moisture helps the fries become crispier.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
  • In a second shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  • Dip each zucchini stick into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.
  • Roll the zucchini in the almond flour and Parmesan mixture, gently pressing the coating onto all sides.
  • Arrange the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between each piece and avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Lightly spray the tops with olive oil or avocado oil spray.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Carefully turn the zucchini fries, then bake for another 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  • For extra browning, broil the fries for 1–2 minutes while watching them carefully.
  • Let the zucchini fries cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
