Ingredients

For the zucchini

1 pound zucchini
cooking spray OR oil

For the flour mix

1/3 cup coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

For the egg wash

1 large egg

For the parmesan breading

3/4 cup low carb baking blend OR almond flour
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Prep

Slice zucchini into sticks. Preheat the oven to 425° F and place a large metal baking sheet in the oven to heat up.

Bread zucchini

Coat with flour: Place cut zucchini into large ziploc bag. Add coconut flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Close bag and shake well to coat all zucchini fries.
Prepare breading: Place egg in a bowl and whisk well. Add Ingredients for the parmesan breading to a separate bowl and mix well.
Bread zucchini: Toss zucchini in egg. One by one, thickly coat with parmesan breading.

Bake zucchini

Carefully remove hot baking sheet from oven. Spray with cooking spray or lightly coat with oil.
Place zucchini fries on pan in a single layer. Bake on the prepared baking sheet for 20 minutes, turning once. If the zucchini sticks to the pan, don't just rip it away – use an offset spatula to loosen it (if you use enough oil or cooking spray, it will not stick).
Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, then serve immediately with your favorite dips.
