Equipment
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Slice the zucchini into thick fries - kind of like steak fries. You can peel the zucchini or not - it's up to you.
- Pat the zucchini dry with paper towels.
- Whisk the egg and mayonnaise together in a bowl.
- Combine the almond flour, spices, and cheese in a second bowl. Mix well.
- Dredge the zucchini in the egg, then the almond flour and cheese mixture, and then place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Lightly spray the breaded zucchini fries with cooking spray/oil to help crisp them (optional)
- 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.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
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.
