Description

These delightful, curly zucchini fries offer a satisfying crunch and a pleasant saltiness, making them an irresistible snack or a unique side dish. Imagine the crispy texture of frizzled onions, but with a lighter, fresher appeal. The zucchini is transformed into delicate, thin strands using a spiralizer, then baked to achieve an incredible crispness.

The secret to their fried-like texture without actual frying lies in a coating made from crushed pork rinds, creating a wonderfully savory and crunchy exterior. Enjoy these zucchini fries straight from the oven while they're at their peak crispiness, or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra layer of flavor. Ketchup is a classic choice, or explore other options to complement the zucchini's subtle taste.

Leftovers, if there are any, can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat them gently to help retain some of their crispness. For a change of pace, try substituting butternut squash for the zucchini.

Keep in mind that butternut squash will offer a slightly different flavor profile and texture. Experiment with different seasonings to customize the flavor and create exciting variations. For a taste of the Southwest, try adding cumin, paprika, and onion powder to the coating.

If you're looking for a flavor that pairs well with burgers, consider using garlic powder and Italian seasoning. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to tailor these crispy zucchini fries to your specific tastes and preferences. These are a perfect way to enjoy zucchini.

Instructions

    1.
    Prep the zucchini at least 30 minutes before baking. Use a spiralizer to cut the zucchini into long, thin spirals, keeping the pieces as long as possible. Spread the spiralized zucchini on a clean sheet tray, cover with paper towels, and weigh down with a heavy dish to absorb moisture.
    2.
    Leave the zucchini for 30 minutes to drain. Season with seasoned salt and black pepper, then toss gently. Transfer the zucchini to a large Ziploc bag. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
    3.
    Grind the pork rinds into fine crumbs using a food processor. Add the crumbs to the Ziploc bag with the zucchini. Seal the bag, trap air inside, and shake until the zucchini is fully coated. Spread the curly fries on the prepared sheet tray, ensuring even spacing. Bake for 25 minutes, or until dried and crispy. Serve by weight with your favorite Keto dipping sauce.
