1-Getting started with these low calorie air fryer zucchini fries is simple and rewarding, especially if you’re new to air frying. Begin by prepping your zucchini to ensure even cooking and the best texture. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process, making it easy for anyone to follow along at home.

2-First, cut the zucchini into fries by slicing each one in half lengthwise, then in half again, and finally into quarters. This creates uniform pieces, about 16 fries per zucchini, which helps them cook evenly. Next, scramble the 1/4 cup egg white in a bowl to use as your binder.

3-Now, mix the dry ingredients on a flat plate: combine 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon basil, and 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. Dip each zucchini fry first into the egg white, then coat it fully in the dry mixture, shaking off any excess for a light covering.

4-Place the coated fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spray them generously with avocado cooking spray. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (about 204°C) for 2 minutes, then spray the air fryer rack. Arrange the fries on the rack, making sure not to overcrowd them for proper air circulation you might need to cook in batches.

5-Air fry for 6-8 minutes until they turn lightly browned, shaking the basket halfway through for even results. Once done, remove the fries and season them immediately with salt. Serve them warm, perhaps with a dipping sauce, and enjoy the crispy goodness right away.
