Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 large eggs
- olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut off the ends and slice each zucchini in half. Cut each half into quarters lengthwise to create sticks about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to combine.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres. Place the coated zucchini stick on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining zucchini sticks, spacing them evenly on the baking sheet.
Once all the zucchini sticks are coated and on the baking sheet, lightly spray the tops with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm.
