Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the zucchini into fries by first trimming the ends, cutting each zucchini in half lengthwise, and then slicing each half into sticks about 1/2 inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten.
Dip each zucchini stick into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then roll it in the almond flour mixture until fully coated.
Place the coated zucchini fries on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even baking.
Lightly spray the zucchini fries with olive oil spray to help them crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
