Zucchini Fries Recipe with No Bread Crumbs KETO

  • The flavors are outstanding. We add parmesan, some paprika, fresh herbs and other spices to really add amazing flavor to the humble zucchini sticks. They’re simply delicious and a perfect zucchini fry appetizer for anytime you’re wanting a simple dish to have a party.
  • Keto coating: you can use different low carb or keto friendly coatings. Crushed pork rinds and almond flour are two other options besides the parmesan cheese. But we find that the parmesan cheese and crushed pork rinds will result in the most crispy outside texture.
  • Even beyond a great finger food, they’re definitely lighter than potatoes. These zucchini fries are baked and all the wonderful flavors get cooked into the zucchini. Each bite is wonderful and low carb!
  • All recipe details are in the recipe box below.

Can You Make this Ahead of time?

You can make these ahead, but they’ll be pretty soggy the next day. Best way to crisp them up is in a toaster oven or air fryer. Add a light oil spray over them so they don’t dry out during heating.

These are so good, not "crispy" becuase they're healthy but still tasty. There's no bread crumbs so they're a little healthier than most zucchini fries recipes and less crispy. If you want them crispy and not keto, add bread crumbs to the coating, then spray the outside before baking.
