Zucchini Fries
Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 25 minutes Total Time: 45 minutes
Portions: 2
Ingredients:
✔️ 2 zucchinis
✔️ 1 whole egg 🥚
✔️ 1/2 cup (62 g) Parmesan cheese 🧀 (make sure you get cheese labeled “Parmigiano-Reggiano”
as many others contain more fillers than the actual cheese 😣)
✔️ 1/2 cup of almond flour (50g)
✔️ For Lactose intolerant (or if you just prefer to avoid cheese) use 1 cup of Almond flour instead
*You can also just use cheese, but with the flour it will come out crunchier and crispier 👌
Ingredients for dip:
✔️ 1/2 cup of mayo (there are many different healthy brands
made of avocado and/or egg or even vegan 😉)
✔️ 1 lemon, juiced
✔️ 1 garlic clove, minced
✔️ Some parsley, chopped
✔️ Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
🔸 Preheat the oven to 425°F or 220°C and line 2 medium trays (or 1 big) with parchment paper
🔸 Slice the zucchini in half & then that half into 4 parts and then in half each of those. You should end up with 16 pieces per zucchini
🔸 Place the egg on one bowl and beat it
🔸 Place the parmesan with the flour and spices on another bowl
🔸 Place with one hand the zucchini in the egg wash & transfer to the cheese mix. Use your other hand to coat them & place them on the tray. Remember to use ONE hand for each mix or you’ll end with a mess 🤪
🔸 Bake for 25 min, flipping halfway through on the cut side
🔸 For the dip, just mix all the ingredients in a bowl and serve all together! 😉
