A quick and easy keto-friendly recipe for crispy zucchini slices coated in almond flour and parmesan, perfect for low-carb meals or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (120 ml)
  • 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese (120 ml)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or avocado oil for drizzling or spraying

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using an air fryer, set it to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds, keeping them uniform for even cooking.
  3. In one bowl, beat the eggs. In a second bowl, mix almond flour, parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each zucchini slice first into the egg, letting excess drip off, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. Press lightly so the coating sticks well.
  5. Arrange coated slices on a wire rack set over a baking sheet or directly on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure slices aren’t touching.
  6. Lightly spray or drizzle olive oil on the zucchini to help with browning and crisping.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through if not using a wire rack. In an air fryer, cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway for even crisping.
  8. Look for a golden-brown color and a firm, crispy texture. The zucchini should be tender inside but not soggy.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving to help the crust set perfectly.

Notes

Pat zucchini dry after salting to remove excess moisture and prevent sogginess. Use room temperature eggs for better coating adhesion. Lightly oil the zucchini slices for a golden crust. Flip halfway if not using a wire rack. Air fryer times may vary; adjust accordingly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
