Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium zucchini cut into 1/2-inch by 3-inch sticks
  • 1 tsp kosher salt for draining
  • 1/3 cup almond flour for dusting
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • oil spray

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Three shallow bowls
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Salt the sticks, rest 15 minutes, then press firmly dry with paper towels.
  2. Dusting almond flour; egg wash; and the seasoned almond flour combined with the Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, and pepper.
  3. Dust, dip in egg (drip 2 seconds), then press into the seasoned almond flour, turning to coat. Rest the sticks 5 minutes.
  4. Preheat to 400°F. Cook in a single layer, misting with oil, 8 minutes before flipping, then 4 to 6 minutes more. Cook in two batches rather than crowding.

Notes

Press the sticks properly dry — wet patches on the towels mean moisture is still bleeding.
Rest the coated sticks so the crust hydrates and sets.
Dips: lemon-garlic aioli, chipotle-lime, or ranch yogurt.
