Ingredients
For the zucchini fries:
- 2 zucchinis, large or 3 small zucchinis
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika optional
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ¾ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
For the sauce:
- 1 avocado, medium
- 2 tbsp whole milk plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1 tsp sriracha sauce (sugar free) or other hot sauce
- ¼ tsp salt
- Water to thin
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230c). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and again crosswise. Then cut them into small wedges.
- In a food processor or high-speed blender, add the shredded coconut and blend until it resembles a fine sand texture.
- Transfer the coconut to a shallow bowl and stir in the almond flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), cumin and salt.
- Whisk the eggs in a separate shallow bowl.
- Dip each zucchini wedge into the egg and then the almond/coconut mixture. Make sure you coat the zucchini on all sides.
- Place on the baking sheets and repeat with the remaining zucchini wedges.
- Bake for 15 mins, or until golden on the bottom.
- To make the sauce, add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. If too thick, add a tablespoon of water until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve the zucchini fries immediately with the dipping sauce.
