Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Baked Zucchini Fries
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the zucchini into thick, even strips and pat them dry with a paper towel to eliminate moisture.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper. Whisk together.
  4. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl until well combined.
  5. Dip each zucchini strip into the egg wash, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly.
  6. Arrange the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
  8. Once golden and crispy, let them cool slightly and serve with dipping sauces.
