Easy Crunchy Keto Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Fries are a delicious, simple, keto diet friendly snack the whole family loves!

I love fries. I mean really… who doesn’t love delicious, crispy, crunchy fries as a snack or a side dish?

But fries aren’t always the healthiest choice – so when I saw some zucchini fries on pinterest, I was totally interested.

I’ve made zucchini noodle dishes, and love cooking recipes full of zucchini- but the recipes I saw all added bread crumbs or flour to make the fries crunchy.

I wanted to find an easy way to make zucchini fries without adding calories, and these Crunchy Parmesan Zucchini Fries turned out better than I could imagine!

The best part?

These garlic parmesan zucchini fries fit into low carb diets- even keto!

(Some low carb paleo and whole 30 diets have you skip all cheese, some are OK with parmesan and hard cheeses.

Skip the parmesan if you’re on a strict diet, and be sure you only go with fresh shredded parmesan without additives if you’re adding it.

The can kind might work, but I could see it burning in this method, and the taste just isn’t as great- something you need when you’re not adding other ingredients.)

The trick to crunchy, delicious fries here is all in the method, since we aren’t using other ingredients.

Be sure to follow it closely!

It’s definitely important to cut your zucchini as thin as possible in a fry shape here- fries that are too big will just get soggy.

To get the perfect fry with minimal work, I cut the zucchini in half (widthwise), then cut each half in half (lengthwise).

Then cut each of those halves into fourths, making long fry shapes! (See photo above).

Be sure to season well.

You want your fries to be fairly dry before seasoning- zucchinis have a TON of moisture, so pat them dry with paper towels.

Grain and gluten free parmesan zucchini fries won’t ever be totally dry, but you can get a good deal of excess moisture off them, which will help you get a nice crispy crunch without adding extra calories.

When baking, the time can vary widely based on the size of the zucchini and amount of water in them.

I’ve made fries in as short as 20 minutes, and had some I had to cook at lower heat for about 35 minutes.

It just depends- so you need to watch them to be sure they are cooking slowly, so they can crisp up and not get soggy.

When they are done, eat hot!

Fries will lose some crunch as they cool, so they are best enjoyed hot!

I’ve never been able to keep them around long, so leftovers were never an issue.

If you do reheat them, do it the same way- space the fries, let them crisp – or you can pan fry them in a little oil.

Almond Crusted fries – dip seasoned fries in a lightly whisked egg, then into finely crushed almonds, or almond flour, bake same as regular.

Roasted Garlic seasoning (this is seen in the video below – be sure to click and watch it!) – I loved the smoky, rich flavors from paprika and roasted garlic (there are a few large well known brands that sell roasted garlic seasoning mix in just about every grocery store – or you can buy some on amazon.)

Lemon Pepper seasoning – I love robust lemon pepper seasoning with zucchini! 

Italian Seasoning mix – oregano, basil, thyme and zucchini all pair perfectly together!
