Recipe for Low Carb Baked Zucchini Fries
ADVERTISEMENT
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Zucchini | 1 |
| Eggs | 3 (lightly beaten) |
| Parmesan cheese | 1 cup |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Italian seasoning | 1 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1/2 teaspoon |
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash the zucchini and cut it in half lengthwise. Then, slice each half into fry shapes, resembling the size and shape of traditional French fries.
- Prepare Coating: In a shallow bowl, crack and beat the eggs until they are well combined. In another shallow bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
- Coat Zucchini Fries: Take each zucchini fry and dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off. Then, transfer the zucchini fry to the bowl containing the Parmesan cheese mixture. Coat the zucchini fry with the mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each coated zucchini fry onto the greased baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart and not touching each other. This allows for even baking and crisping.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the zucchini fries for 10 minutes.
- Flip and Bake Again: After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Using tongs or a spatula, carefully flip each zucchini fry over. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the zucchini fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the zucchini fries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve them warm as a delicious and nutritious snack or side dish.
