Ingredients in Almond Parmesan Crusted Zucchini Crisps

• Blanched almond flour: Almond flour works as a great low carb and gluten free breading option. It crisps up nicely when cooked. If you need a nut free recipe, swap out the almond flour and parmesan cheese for a batch of my Nut Free Keto Breading Mix.
• Grated parmesan cheese: The parmesan cheese, mixed with the almond flour makes for a deliciously crispy keto fried zucchini. Fresh grated is best, but the kind in the famous green can will work also.
• Zucchini: You can also make this recipe with summer squash, or a mixture of both.
• Heavy cream and egg: The heavy cream and egg are what help the breading stick to the zucchini during frying.

What to Serve with Keto Fried Zucchini Crisps

Dip these keto fried zucchini crisps in ranch! This Keto Avocado Ranch Dressing is so creamy, perfect for dipping. They are also delicious dipped in Buffalo Ranch Dressing or Tzatziki Sauce.

Recipe Tips and Variations

• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. 
• Reheating: I recommend reheating these breaded zucchini crisps in the oven, a pan, or an air fryer.
• Sub squash: These low carb fried zucchini can also be made with summer squash.
• Air Frying: You can make these in the air fryer. Simply spray the breading zucchini with a little cooking spray or brush lightly with olive oil and cook in the air fryer on 350°F until crispy.
• Nut Free: For a nut free version, you can bread these in my Low Carb Nut Free Breading Mix.

Instructions

1. Combine the almond flour, parmesan cheeses, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix until well incorporated. Spread the mixture in a thin layer on a plate.
2. Add the heavy cream, and egg to a small bowl, and fork whisk to combine.
3. Heat about an inch of oil in a high-sided skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat.
4. Coat the zucchini slices in the breading, dredge in the egg wash, and then coat in the breading again.
5. Gently place the breaded zucchini into the hot oil and fry until the breading is crispy on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes each side. Try not to flip the zucchini too many times or you will lose your breading.
6. Line a plate with paper towels and as you remove the zucchini from the pan, place them on the paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
