Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup pecorino romano
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400° F and lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil.
- Remove the ends from the zucchini. Slice it down the center, lay the flesh side down on a cutting board and slice the zucchini into 4 strips (about 1 1/2 inch strips). Slice the strips in half horizontally to make 8 short zucchini fries.
- Place the egg in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish mix together the pecorino romano, almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge each zucchini strip in the egg wash, then in the almond flour mixture. Place seasoned zucchini on a plate or baking sheet while you season the remaining zucchini. Lightly spritz the tops of the zucchini fries with olive oil.
- Carefully place the zucchini fries in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are golden brown.
Notes
- All purpose flour can be used instead of almond flour.
- This recipe can be made with or without flour.
