Keto & Gluten Free Zucchini Fries
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, (about 10 ounces)
- Few pinches of salt
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (finely grated with smallest grater hole (freshly grated produces the best results))
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Get started: Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the zucchini: Rinse zucchinis and trim off the ends on each. Cut each zucchini in half, lengthwise. Then, cut each of those halves in half again, and then one more time to get thinner spears. Finally, cut each of the spears in half so they're a few inches long. You should have a total of 16 spears per zucchini. Lightly season with salt. Before dipping in mixtures, be sure to dry them with a paper towel.
- Make the fries: In a shallow bowl, whisk an egg and set aside. In another bowl, stir together freshly grated parmesan, garlic powder and red chili flakes (optional). After, dip each zucchini spear in whisked egg and shake off any excess egg before dipping in parmesan mixture. Roll spear in the parmesan mixture and place on lined baking sheet a few inches apart from one another.
- Bake and serve: When done, place pan in oven and bake for roughly 20 minutes, until golden brown. We usually bake for a full 20 minutes. As soon as they're done baking, remove from oven and serve immediately (best to eat while still warm). Serve with favorite dipping sauce.
