Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Begin by washing and drying the zucchini. Cut off the ends, and slice each zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
In another bowl, beat the egg along with the water to create an egg wash.
Dip each zucchini slice into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Spray a light coat of olive oil over the top of the zucchini slices to help them crisp up.
Air fry the zucchini at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the zucchini from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite low carb dipping sauce.
