Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchini, cut into 3-inch sticks
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Olive oil spray (for coating)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Zucchini: Cut the zucchini into 3-inch sticks, removing the ends. Pat the zucchini sticks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them crisp up better.
  3. Make the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten egg, then roll it in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  5. Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray them with olive oil for extra crispiness.
  6. Bake the Fries: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden and crispy.
  7. Serve: Once the zucchini fries are crispy and golden brown, remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve with a side of your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce, such as ranch or marinara.
