Zucchini is one of my favorite low-carb vegetables. Not only does it taste great, it’s super versatile – from zucchini noodles to Zucchini Fries! Today, we’re sharing our favorite recipe for oven baked zucchini fries.

Low Carb Zucchini Fries Recipe

French fries and pizza are two of my favorite junk foods.

While we’ve got the pizza cravings covered with our fathead pizza dough, figuring out the perfect french fry alternative has been a bit trickier.

A good french fry for me has a crunchy outside, soft, fluffy inside, and a good hit of salt to make them mouth-watering. So far, these zucchini french fries are my favorite. (Beating out my previous go-to green bean french fries.)

These zucchini french fries are super easy to make and they can be seasoned in so many different ways thanks to their mellow flavor.

I’ll also be sharing how to make zucchini fries in an airfryer soon.

For my low-carb friends, these zucchini fries are only 4.5g net carbs per serving – even less if you omit the optional almond flour.

Personally, I don’t like using almond flour as I find it gets clumpy. Some people enjoy the crunch it provides, so try it both ways to figure out which way you prefer.

• 1/2 cup almond flour, optional

Ingredients

• 2 large zucchini, cut into fries
• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 cup Parmesan
• 1/2 cup almond flour, optional
• 1/2 cup pork rinds
• Garlic powder, to taste
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Additional spices, as desired
• 1 Tablespoon oil of choice

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425F
2. Set an oven-proof cooling rack or oven rack on a tinfoil-lined cookie tray. Set aside.
3. Cut up the zucchini and let set on a baking pan as you assemble the remaining ingredients and set up the air fryer. This will allow them to dry slightly.
4. Place two egg whites in one shallow bowl, set aside.
5. In a second shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan, crushed pork rinds, and seasonings.
6. Dredge the zucchini fries one at a time through the egg whites, and then through the "breadcrumb" mixture, then set on your cookie tray. You can double coat if you wish.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. You may want to flip the fries once while baking, but it isn't completely necessary.
8. Serve with your choice of dip.

Notes
