Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g zucchini about 3 medium, cut into sticks (~¼–½" thick)
  • ½ cup 56 g almond flour — or 1½ cups crushed pork rinds for lower carbs
  • ⅓ cup 30 g grated Parmesan
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing / spray
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt + ¼ tsp black pepper plus extra for finishing
  • Optional: lemon zest parsley, truffle oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) (or air-fryer to 400°F / 200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment; place a wire rack on the sheet if available.
  2. Cut zucchini into evenly sized sticks. Place in a colander, sprinkle with ½ tsp salt, toss, and let sit 8–10 minutes. Wrap in a towel and squeeze out excess moisture thoroughly.
  3. In a shallow bowl combine almond flour + Parmesan + smoked paprika + garlic powder + onion powder + pepper. In another bowl beat 2 eggs.
  4. Dip each zucchini stick into egg, then roll in the almond-Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere. Place on wire rack or directly on lined sheet in a single layer.
  5. Lightly brush or spray fries with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  6. Oven: Bake 14–18 minutes flipping at 8–10 min until golden and crisp. Air-fryer: Air-fry 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway. Broil 30–60 seconds at the end if you want extra color (watch carefully).
  7. Remove, season with a pinch of flaky salt and lemon zest if using. Serve hot with your favorite low-carb dip.
