If you’ve got an oven, a baking sheet, some almond flour, and a few other pantry staples, you’re good to go!

• Mayonnaise – Use your favorite keto mayonnaise.
• Almond flour – Superfine grind makes a lovely coating for the zucchini.
• Parmesan cheese
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder

• Salt
• Pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
2. Slice the zucchini into thick fries – kind of like steak fries. You can peel the zucchini or not – it’s up to you.
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.
