Description

These easy Crispy Baked Keto Zucchini Fries are a delicious and simple low-carb side dish made with just four ingredients, delivering the perfect crispy texture that keto lovers will adore.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Zucchini Fries

  • 3 medium zucchinis
  • 2 egg whites mixed with 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese mixed with 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

For the Cajun Aioli (optional)

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 egg yolks beaten (a good way to use up those excess yolks from above!)

Instructions

  1. For the Zucchini Fries: Cut your zucchini into thin “fry-like” strips.
  2. Drying: Allow the zucchini strips to air dry for 15 minutes or pat gently with paper towels to release the excess moisture.
  3. Prepare Oven: Heat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Mix Egg Whites: In a shallow bowl, stir together the egg whites and Cajun seasoning.
  5. Mix Cheese: In another shallow bowl, stir together to Parmesan cheese and Cajun seasoning.
  6. Dredge Fries: Dip the zucchini strips in the egg whites then dredge in Parmesan.
  7. Bake: Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  8. For the Cajun Aioli (optional): Heat the mayo, heavy cream, lemon juice and Cajun seasoning in a saucepan over medium heat.
  9. Temper Egg Yolks: Once warmed through, remove from heat. Slowly temper in the two egg yolks by adding them in one teaspoon at a time and stirring vigorously until incorporated fully.
  10. Serve: Serve with the Keto Zucchini Fries.

Notes

  • Use uniform strips. Cut the zucchini into similar sized strips so that they cook evenly.
  • Don’t stack them. Place the zucchini fries in a single layer on the baking sheet. If they are overcrowded they will steam rather than get crispy. Bake them in multiple batches if necessary.
  • Flip halfway. Turn the fries over halfway through the baking time so that they get crispy all over.
