There's nothing more annoying when you can't enjoy the same fries like everyone else in the household can. However, I like zucchini, and was pondering how to use it differently this time. After scooting around the web, I found many zucchini fries to contain white flour or oils or ingredients I didn't have at home at the time.
But I did have roasted almond flour at home.. (leftovers from making almond milk that I dried in the oven and ground to a new meal) as well as other things.
You'll need:
a medium-sized zucchini
2 tbsps onion powder
1 tsp rosemary (I used the dried kind)
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
half a cup roasted ground almond flour
half a cup parmesan cheese
1 egg
This is what you'll need to do:
1. Preheat oven to 425F (225C).
2. Cut the zucchini into sticks (like fries). If you wish to peel them first that is your choice, I prefer keeping the green skin.
3. Mix together dry ingredients (I used bags for this recipe, one for the dry meal and another for the egg) in one bag, set to the side.
4. Blend egg until smooth, pour into the next bag.
5. Add in the zucchini sticks into the egg bag and seal it enough in your hand so it won't leak. Toss around the sticks inside so they get a good egg-coating.
6. Remove the now egg-coated sticks from the egg bag and add them in the dry meal bag. Repeat the same there and toss around in the bag until all have been coated in the meal mix.
7. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and lay out your zucchini fries evenly.
8. Bake in the middle of your oven for 15 - 18 mins. Remember that it varies between different ovens.
9. Serve and enjoy!
