Description

Enjoy a healthy, low-carb twist on classic fries with these crispy Air Fryer Zucchini Fries. Coated in a flavorful almond flour and Parmesan crust, these fries are perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making a delicious and guilt-free snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Zucchini Fries

  • 2 medium zucchinis

Coating Mixture

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Egg Wash

  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the zucchini fries.
  2. Slice the zucchinis: Cut the zucchinis into fry-shaped sticks, about 3-4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Prepare the coating mixture: In a bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  4. Beat the eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the two eggs thoroughly to create an egg wash for coating.
  5. Coat the zucchini fries: Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten eggs to moisten, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.
  6. Arrange fries in the air fryer: Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching for even crisping.
  7. Air fry the zucchini fries: Cook at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time to achieve a golden brown and crispy exterior.
  8. Serve: Remove the fries from the air fryer and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce like marinara, ranch, or a spicy aioli.

Notes

  • For extra crispy fries, you can spray a little cooking oil on the fries before air frying.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
  • These fries can be enjoyed as a low-carb snack or a healthy side dish.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
