Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • Olive oil spray
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon of fine salt )
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 large zucchnis (unpeeled (1 lb.))

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with heatproof parchment paper and spray the paper with olive oil.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy.
  • In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Divide the mixture between two shallow bowls - this will help prevent the almond flour coating from becoming soggy.
  • Trim the zucchinis' ends and cut them into 1/4-inch-thick fries, as shown in the video below. Pat them dry using paper towels.
  • Place the zucchini fries in the bowl with the beaten egg whites to coat.
  • Dredge each zucchini strip in the seasoned almond flour (gently press to help it adhere), then place on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer. To prevent a sticky mess, it's best to use one hand for picking each zucchini strip up from the egg whites, then the other hand to dredge it in the almond flour.
  • Lightly spray the zucchini strips with olive oil, then bake them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully turn the fries. Spray again, return to the oven, and bake until browned and crispy, 10-15 more minutes.
