Make crispy, low-carb zucchini fries coated in parmesan cheese using an air fryer for the best texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium zucchini
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray (avocado or olive oil based)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini. Cut each zucchini lengthwise into sticks about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.
  3. Pat the zucchini sticks very dry using paper towels. This step is important for crispiness.
  4. Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls.
  5. In the first bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  6. In the second bowl, place the beaten egg.
  7. In the third bowl, place the grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Dip each zucchini stick first into the almond flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  9. Next, dip the floured stick into the egg, letting excess drip off.
  10. Finally, press the stick firmly into the Parmesan cheese to coat completely.
  11. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  12. Arrange the coated zucchini sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. You will need to cook in batches.
  13. Spray the tops of the coated fries lightly with cooking spray.
  14. Air fry for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  15. Serve immediately with your preferred keto dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can chill the coated zucchini sticks on a baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before air frying.
  • Do not skip patting the zucchini dry; excess moisture prevents the coating from adhering and crisping.
  • If you do not have an air fryer, bake on a wire rack set over a baking sheet at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
