- Timing: Since all air fryers are slightly different, watching your zucchini as it cooks up is a good idea.

Keto Air Fryer Zucchini Fries Recipe Faqs
Can I use regular zucchini instead of small zucchini? Yes, you can use regular zucchini, but you may need to cut them into thinner strips to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
What should I do if my zucchini fries turn out soggy? Ensure the zucchini strips are well-drained and patted dry before coating. Also, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation for crispy fries.
Can I make these zucchini fries ahead of time? For the best texture, it’s recommended to make and enjoy them fresh. However, you can prep and coat the zucchini ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook.
What can I use instead of almond flour for a keto-friendly coating? You can substitute almond flour with finely grated Parmesan cheese or crushed pork rinds for a different flavor and texture while keeping it keto-friendly.
How can I make these zucchini fries spicier? Add extra spices like paprika, cayenne pepper, or red pepper flakes to the coating mixture to increase the heat level and add more flavor.
Can I use a different type of cheese in the coating? Yes, you can use other types of hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano or Asiago. Make sure to finely grate the cheese for the best coating texture.
