Low Carb Air Fryer Zucchini Fries

Ingredients

2 medium zucchinis
1 large egg, beaten

½ cup almond flour, or panko/Italian breadcrumbs
½ cup parmesan cheese, grated

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or seasoning of choice
½ teaspoon garlic powder, optional

Pinch of salt and pepper
Oil for spraying, olive or oil of choice

Instructions

Cut the zucchini in half, then cut into sticks that are 3–4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick, often known as fries.

Almond flour (or bread crumbs), spices, grated Parmesan, and a dash of salt and pepper should all be combined in a shallow basin. Toss to blend.

Place the zucchini on a dish or baking sheet after dredging it in the egg and almond flour mixture. Coat the zucchini generously with cooking spray.

Arrange the zucchini fries in the air fryer in a single layer, working in batches. additionally Cook at 400 degrees for ten minutes, or until crispy.

Notes

Seasoning options:Make these zucchini fries your own by spicing them up with your favorite seasoning mix. You can’t go wrong with Italian seasoning but cajun seasoning, taco seasoning, ranch seasoning or your favorite seasoning blend will take these zucchini fries to the next level!

Breading options: To keep these zucchini fries low carb and keto, opt-in for almond flour and avoid breadcrumbs. If you are not doing keto, go ahead and replace the almond flour with panko bread crumbs. They are light and airy and will make the zucchini fries super crispy.

To make in oven: Follow the recipe as instructed and bake for 30 minutes in a 425F preheated oven or until golden and crispy. Check out the oven baked version here.

FAQs AND QUESTIONs

How to Make Crispy Zucchini Fries in Air Fryer

Breading: We adore using a blend of almond flour and freshly grated parmesan cheese for low-carb and keto diets. The combination is ideal for making really crispy zucchini fries. Panko bread crumbs are a great addition to non-keto diets. They are incredibly crispy and light, and you must taste them.

Cooking: Make sure your air fryer isn’t too full to avoid getting uniformly crispy zucchini fries. Fill the air fryer with as many zucchini fries as you can without them overlapping.

Seasoning: These breadcrumbs taste great with just a little salt and pepper, but if you want to add even more flavor, we strongly advise adding some heat! These fries will taste even better if you add a teaspoon or two of your preferred spice blend—Italian, taco, ranch, or Cajun—to the breading mixture!

Dipping sauces to serve with zucchini fries

These zucchini fries will go with just about any dipping sauce you have on hand or even ketchup or ranch. We served them with a creamy sriracha sauce. We’ve gathered our favorite dipping sauces that can be quickly whipped up in under 5 minutes while the fries are baking!
