Ingredients

3 Zucchini
2 Eggs
1 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese grated
1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
Fresh Parsley optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking oil spray.
Cut the tops off the zucchini. Then cut in half widthwise and quarter lengthwise.
Place cheese and Italian seasoning in a food processor, and “pulse” until combined and the cheese resembles a small grain. Pour the mixture into a wide bowl.
In another bowl, beat the eggs. Dredge the zucchini into the eggs, then into cheese mixture. Press to coat evenly.
Place coated zucchini on baking sheet, and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the cheese starts to brown.

Notes

Aside from zucchini, these low-carb French fries are also made with jicama. And, don’t forget to serve it with a favorite low-carb dipping sauce to enjoy the best taste.

FAQ

Are zucchini fries keto-friendly?
Yes. Zucchini is low in carbohydrates, and this recipe uses keto-approved ingredients such as eggs and Parmesan cheese, making it suitable for a ketogenic diet.

Are these zucchini fries gluten-free?
Yes. The recipe contains no flour or breadcrumbs, so it is naturally gluten-free.

Can I make zucchini fries without eggs?
Eggs help the cheese coating stick to the zucchini. If you need an alternative, you can try heavy cream or mayonnaise, but the coating may not adhere as well.

What type of Parmesan cheese works best?
Freshly grated Parmesan is recommended for the best texture and flavor. Pre-shredded cheese may not crisp as evenly due to added anti-caking agents.

How do I make the fries extra crispy?
Ensure the zucchini is patted dry before coating, space the fries evenly on the baking sheet, and avoid overcrowding. You can also broil them for 1–2 minutes at the end.

Can I cook zucchini fries in an air fryer?
Yes. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 10–15 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.

Why are my zucchini fries soggy?
Zucchini contains a lot of moisture. Not drying the zucchini well or overcrowding the baking sheet can cause sogginess.

Can I add other seasonings?
Yes. Garlic powder, paprika, chili flakes, or dried herbs can be added as long as they fit your keto preferences.

What dipping sauces pair well with keto zucchini fries?
They pair well with keto-friendly ranch dressing, garlic aioli, sour cream, or sugar-free marinara sauce.

How should leftovers be stored and reheated?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
