Super Delicious Z-Fries

So the other night I made burgers.  And of course, with burger I made french fries.... for everyone else, of course.  Ya know, since I'm LC and not eating starch or anything too carby.

So I made myself some zucchini fries.  I honestly could eat these on the daily for the rest of my life.

Thankfully, I have a friend who has a friend who has a garden.  She gave me a couple of zucchinis her garden friend gave her.  Have you ever had zucchini from a home garden??  They are GINORMOUS.  No lie.  Store bought zucchini pales in comparison to home grown (not to mention zero pesticides).  Guess who will be starting her own garden next spring???  This girl!!

Anyway... So I basically just threw this together.  I've looked at multiple recipes so I had a good idea what to do.  And with my trusty air fryer these were cooked to perfection.

So the first step is so create the breading.  I used:

1/2 Cup Almond Flour
1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Italian Seasoning to taste
Mix well with a fork

As you can see I cut the zucchini into triangles.  I would have cut them smaller but I was being lazy.  I did, however, find a french fry cutter days later while cleaning out a cupboard.  I would have so used that!

Then I dipped the zucchini in the breading.  Zucchini is already moist (hehe) so the breading sticks to it easily without using eggs.  I tried eggs before and it makes a mess and I'm too lazy for messes.

I put a single layer of the breaded zucchini in the basket in the air fryer and set it at 400°F for 10 minutes.

 

Now some of these I had to cook a little longer because they were so thick.  But I just kept checking them until the breading was browned.  

Here is the end result:

 

Super easy.  Super delicious!  Even my husband commented how tasty they were.  I'm sure it's that extra flavor the almond flour gives.  Because now that I use that in most things that call for breadcrumbs, my kids have even commented how much better the new way is.  

As always, I encourage you to try this and leave me comments.  Feel free to make suggestions.  Any ideas are welcome.  Make sure to check out the provided links.  They are super helpful.  Thank you for reading and supporting my blog.  Have a good week <3
