⭐ Ingredients
For the fries:
- 2 medium zucchini, cut into fry-shaped sticks
- 1 cup almond flour (or crushed pork rinds for ultra-crispy)
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional but delicious)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Optional dips:
- Sugar-free ranch
- Sugar-free marinara
- Garlic aioli
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep your zucchini
Slice zucchini into evenly sized sticks — not too thick or they’ll soften too much.
2. Make the coating
In a bowl, mix together:
✔ almond flour (or pork rind crumbs)
✔ parmesan
✔ garlic powder
✔ paprika
✔ salt + pepper
3. Dip + coat
Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten eggs, then into the crumb mixture, pressing lightly to help it stick.
4. Air fry
Place coated fries in your air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8–12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy.
5. Serve hot
Enjoy immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
