Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into fries
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 large eggs, beaten

Instructions

1. Preheat your Air Fryer to 350°F (180°C).
2. Combine the almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt in a bowl.
3. Dip each zucchini fry into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat evenly with the almond flour mixture.
4. Place the coated zucchini fries in the Air Fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your Air Fryer.
5. For extra crispiness, you can lightly drizzle or spray the fries with olive oil or avocado oil.
6. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove from the Air Fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips and Tricks

• Use a mixture of spices like cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.
