How do you make a zucchini fries recipe keto? The trick is in the breading!

With an easy-to-make breading made of almond flour “breadcrumbs” and grated parmesan cheese, you have a dish that is perfect for dipping. Not only is it great for your keto diet, but it is also gluten-free.

Ingredients for Making Zucchini Fries Keto

• Zucchini:You want roughly a pound of zucchini. This is typically two large or three small but can vary based on density and size.
• Almond Flour:Finely ground is best. I don’t recommend using almond meal.
• Parmesan:Use finely grated parmesan from the refrigerator section or buy a block and grate your own.
• Italian Seasoning:Optional, but adds a nice flavor.
• Salt and Pepper:Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your liking.
• Eggs:I used large eggs, but whatever you have on hand will work.
• Avocado Oil:This is best for high-heat cooking.

Tips & Tricks

• Feel free to play with the seasonings. Garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika are all excellent additions.
• If you have leftovers, try reheating them and using them as “croutons” on a salad.

Reheat them in the air fryer or oven.

How to Make Keto Zucchini Fries

First, start by trimming the ends off the zucchini and cutting into fries. To do this, cut in half crosswise and then lengthwise.

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan, and seasonings.

Beat the eggs in a separate shallow dish.

Dip the zucchini fries into the egg and then coat with the breading.

Air Fryer Keto Zucchini Fries

Start by preheating your air fryer.

Spray the breaded zucchini with oil.

Arrange the zucchini in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. Air fryer liners can be helpful to avoid the breading sticking to your fryer.

Cook until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Baked Zucchini Fries

Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Arrange the zucchini in a single layer and then spray with oil.

Cook for about 20 minutes, until the zucchini fries are golden.

Fried Low Carb Zucchini Fries

Heat oil in a heavy skillet or fryer.

Cook the zucchini in batches for about 2 ½ minutes. Drain on paper towels.
