Ingredients

For the Zucchini Fries:
  • 2 medium Zucchini cut into fries
  • ½ cup  almond flour
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup ground pork rinds, plain
  • 1 teaspoon garlic sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 2 eggs, beaten
For the sauce
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup (no sugar added)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Wash, dry and cut your zucchini into fries for sticks.
  2. Add the almond flour, parmesan cheese, ground pork rinds, oregano, parsley, basil, garlic salt and pepper into a bowl and whisk to combine.  To get a finer texture, I like to blend mine in a food processor.
  3. Take the eggs and beat them in a shallow bowl.  Dip each zucchini fry into the egg, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Then dip them into the breading to get a thin coating.
  4. Place the breaded fries in the basket of your air fryer.Spray them down with olive oil, I prefer to use this sprayer, rather than the aerosol store bought type.
  5. Air fry for 15-20 minutes or until golden.While the fries are cooking, add all the zipping sauce ingredients into a small mixing bowl.
  6. Whisk to combine and set aside at room temperature until the fries are ready. Serve on the side of the zucchini fries.

Notes

  • Note: If your zucchini are small, you can probably use only one egg.
  • To get a more accurate macros count, it's best to weigh your ingredients and recalculate based on the size of the zucchini that you use, because they will vary greatly.
