Crispy, savory, and perfect for dunking, these keto Zucchini Fries are some good eats! They’re easy to make, too, and don’t require any funny ingredients. There are also no sugar alcohols in this recipe so it’s all natural and low in net carbs.

I love these keto Zucchini Fries as a side dish, but I’ll also make a batch just to nibble on as my lunch or dinner. The kids always look enviously at me – and sometimes I share – when they’re having their carby dinners, and I make a plate of these.

For a full list of ingredients and instructions, please scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of this page.

  3. Pat the zucchini dry with paper towels.
  4. Whisk the egg and mayonnaise together in a bowl.
  5. Combine the almond flour, spices, and cheese in a second bowl. Mix well.
  6. Dredge the zucchini in the egg, then the almond flour and cheese mixture, and then place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  7. Lightly spray the breaded zucchini fries with cooking spray/oil to help crisp them (optional)
  8. Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 15 minutes. Then, turn them carefully with a fork, and bake for about 10 more minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside but tender in the middle.
  9. Serve and enjoy!

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Grated – not shredded – Parmesan cheese is best in this recipe.
  • Try to keep the zucchini cut the same thickness – about 1/2-inch thick maximum – for even cooking.
  • After dredging the zucchini in the egg-mayonnaise mixture, press them really well into the almond flour and spices to get a nice coating on them.
  • A bit of oil spray will help them crisp up nicely.

What To Dip Keto Zucchini Fries Into?

Any keto-friendly dip will work! Some of my favorites are keto Ranch Dressing, keto Horsey Sauce, this low-carb marinara sauce, or for thick and funky flavor, dip them into blue cheese. I also love them with my famous Green Goddess Dip.

    Best snacks ever! I love the parmesan crust on these and so glad I realized it needed to be grated and not shredded. Good tip.
