Keto Baked Parmesan Zucchini Fries (Print Version)

Golden, crispy zucchini fries coated with Parmesan and aromatic spices. Baked to perfection for a satisfying low-carb snack.

# What You Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 medium zucchini, cut into fry-shaped sticks

→ Coating

02 - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
03 - 1/2 cup almond flour
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
06 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Egg Wash

09 - 2 large eggs, beaten

# How to Prepare:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - Cut the zucchini into fry-shaped sticks, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
03 - Beat the eggs in a medium bowl until well combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
05 - Dip each zucchini fry into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, then press firmly into the Parmesan mixture to coat evenly on all sides.
06 - Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring pieces do not touch for even crisping.
07 - Bake for 22-25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time, until golden brown and crispy.
08 - Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Pair with sugar-free marinara, ranch, or aioli for dipping if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get that satisfying crunch of fried food without the guilt or the grease mess
  • The coating sticks so well that each fry feels like a little Parmesan crusted treasure
02 -
  • Overcrowding the pan will steam the fries instead of baking them crispy, so use two pans if needed
  • The extra minute under the broiler at the end transforms these from good to absolutely incredible
03 -
  • Use a fork instead of your fingers to flip the fries halfway through cooking
  • Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes so the coating sets properly
