Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup arrowroot powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 as needed coconut oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat them dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
Step 4
In another bowl, beat the eggs together until fully blended.
Step 5
Dip each zucchini slice in the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated, then press it into the almond flour mixture, turning to coat both sides well. Shake off any excess coating.
Step 6
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with coconut oil spray.
Step 7
Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. You may need to cook them in batches.
Step 8
Spray the top of the zucchini slices lightly with more coconut oil spray.
Step 9
Air fry the zucchini slices for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove the crispy zucchini from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Step 11
Serve with your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce and enjoy!
