Baked Low Carb Zucchini Fries (Paleo, AIP, Keto, Dairy Free)

Zucchini season is in full swing, and I am all about it! When I’m not putting zucchini in dishes like my one pot lasagna or zucchini brownies, I tend to default to putting it in the oven. However, zucchini tends to get a bit mushy in the oven. You have to watch it incredibly carefully to make sure it cooks perfectly.

These low carb zucchini fries are such a delicious side dish or appetizer! They’re great for dipping into a sauce of your choice, and are made without any dairy, grains, or nuts. Most zucchini fries that you’ll find recipes for online are made with Parmesan, eggs, and almond flour, but not these! They’re totally AIP compliant and great for bringing along to a party where there are a lot of allergies.

It wasn’t easy to make a zucchini fry recipe that was egg free, grain free, nut free, and dairy free. It took me several tries to get the coating to really stick without eggs, but it really is possible! The coating for these fries is made with coconut flour, and features a blend of herbs and added nutritional yeast to give the fries that cheesy flavor without the actual dairy.

All you have to do is coat the fries in coconut milk (or almond milk if you tolerate it) and roll it in the coating. Super simple! You can even do it with kiddos!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 large zucchini’s
• 1/3 cup full fat coconut milk (sub almond milk if tolerated and not AIP)

• 2 tsp dried basil

INSTRUCTIONS
