Ingredients

2 medium zucchini
1 cup almond flour
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
Cooking spray or olive oil for baking

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry zucchini, then cut them into fry-shaped sticks, about ½ inch thick.

Step 2: Make the Breading Station

In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs well.

Step 3: Coat the Zucchini

Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then roll it in the almond flour mixture to coat all sides.
Arrange coated fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, spacing them out evenly.

Step 4: Bake

Lightly spray the fries with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 22-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown and crispy.

Step 5: Serve

Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving for best texture and enjoy with your favorite keto-friendly dip!

Notes

Patting the zucchini dry removes excess moisture for a crunchier result.
Use finely grated Parmesan for the best coating texture.
For even crispier fries, broil them for 2 extra minutes at the end.

Variations

Spicy: Add ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper to the breading for a kick.
Coconut: Substitute ½ cup almond flour with unsweetened shredded coconut for a subtle sweetness.
Cheesy: Mix in shredded mozzarella with Parmesan for extra gooey fries.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 6-8 minutes to regain crispiness.
Freezing is not recommended—it changes the texture.

Suggested Pairings & Serving Recommendations

Serve with keto-friendly dips like garlic aioli or ranch.
Pairs well with bunless burgers, grilled chicken, or salads for a balanced meal.
Top with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for an extra flavor boost.

Pro Tips

Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—give each fry enough room to crisp up.
Flip fries carefully halfway through baking for even browning.
If using an air fryer, cook in batches at 400°F for 12-15 minutes.

FAQ

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but reduce the amount to ⅓ cup as coconut flour is more absorbent.
Do I need to peel the zucchini?
Nope! The skin adds extra fiber and helps the fries hold their shape.
Why aren't my fries crispy?
Make sure to dry the zucchini well, avoid overcrowding, and bake at a high temperature for best results.
