    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 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.

    Serving suggestions

    Dip these 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.

    Almond Parmesan Crusted Zucchini Crisps


    • Author: Kyndra Holley
    • Total Time: 25 minutes
    • Yield: 6 servings 1x
    Print Recipe
    Pin Recipe

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 2 medium zucchini (about 8 inches), sliced ¼ - ½ inch thick
    • 1 cup blanched almond flour (I use this brand)
    • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ¼ cup heavy cream
    • 2 large egg
    • avocado oil or coconut oil for frying

    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.

      Do you think you can make this in an air fryer?

      Made these last night, but I substituted pumpkin seeds for the almonds. (I thought maybe the crust around the zucchini would be a lovely green to complement the vegetables, but alas, it was about the same color as your almond version.) This recipe is a keeper! My family really enjoyed them served with homemade ranch dressing and a salad. 🙂

        I think almond meal would work perfectly.
