Making zucchini fries is not something that is new for us. I have been making fries out of veggies other than potatoes for a long time.

What are Zucchini Fries?

Zucchini Fries are slices of zucchini that are coated with a breading (we use almond flour and parmesan cheese for the breading on these) and then baked in the oven. They are a low carb healthier option to traditional french fries.

Zucchini is naturally low in carbs which makes it perfect for making fries out of zucchini. I coated them with parmesan cheese and some almond flour to make the perfect crispy crust when they baked and tada, easy zucchini fries that have a crispy outside and full of flavor.

Tips for Making Zucchini Fries

Use smaller zucchinis. You get less water when you use a smaller zucchini. If needed pat them dry with a paper towel before coating them.

Don’t salt the zucchini. I know people suggest using salt to remove water from the zucchini, I don’t suggest this. You will get really salty zucchini fries.

Broil if needed. If you want them crispier after you are done baking them you can pop them under the broil for a few minutes.

Change up the cheese. I use parmesan becuase it gets nice and crispy when it is baked in the oven, but you can change that up and use Asiago or another hard cheese.

Baked Keto Zucchini Fries Ingredients

• 1 pound zucchini squash – 3 medium sized zucchinis
• ¼ cup almond flour
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 egg

Baked Keto Zucchini Fries Directions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

Cover a baking sheet with foil and then place a wire cooling rack over top, set aside.

Cut the ends off the zucchini and then cut each one into strips, approximately ⅓ inch thick.

In a large zip-top bag add the zucchini, almond flour, and salt. Shake the bag to coat the zucchini in flour.

In a shallow bowl add the parmesan cheese.

In a second bowl, whisk the egg with about 1 tablespoon of water until fairly smooth.

One by one, dip the zucchini into the egg mix then into the cheese.

Place them onto the cooling rack and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until they are a medium golden brown color.
