Keto Zucchini Fries
Keto Zucchini Fries
Keto Zucchini Fries are a healthy, low-carb alternative to traditional French fries. They are made using zucchini, which is sliced into thin sticks, coated in a mixture of almond flour, parmesan cheese, and spices, and then baked until crispy. These fries are perfect for anyone following a keto or low-carb diet, but they are also a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by anyone. They are a great way to add more vegetables to your diet while still enjoying a tasty snack or side dish.
