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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Make the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten egg, then roll it in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- 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.
- Bake the Fries: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden and crispy.
- 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.
