3-Ingredient Low Carb Fries

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Large zucchinis 2
Olive oil 2 tbsp
Salt 1 tsp

Step-By-Step Directions:

  1. Prep the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the zucchini from sticking.

  2. Cut the Zucchini: Thoroughly wash the zucchinis and trim off the ends. Slice them in half crosswise, then cut each half into thin, even strips resembling the size and shape of classic French fries.

  3. Coat and Season: Lay the zucchini fries in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top, then toss with your hands to make sure every piece is lightly and thoroughly coated. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the fries.

  4. Bake: Spread the seasoned fries back out into a single layer, ensuring they aren’t piled on top of each other (giving them space helps them crisp up instead of steaming). Bake in the preheated oven for 20/25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and slightly crispy.

  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fries sit and cool for 2/3 minutes on the pan. This brief rest helps them firm up slightly before you serve them warm with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce!
