Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchinis
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup olive oil or avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut each zucchini into 3-inch long sticks, about the thickness of a finger.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
Step 4
Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 5
Roll the zucchini stick in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Press gently to adhere if necessary.
Step 6
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated zucchini sticks in the skillet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
Step 8
Fry the zucchini sticks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Step 9
Transfer the fried zucchini sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Repeat the frying process with any remaining zucchini sticks.
Step 11
Serve the crispy zucchini sticks warm with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
