These Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries are an easy side dish to pair with your summer entree. Using coconut flour and a mix of spices, they are simple, delicious, Paleo and AIP friendly.
Jump to RecipeSummertime is zucchini season. Instead of making traditional white potato fries or roasted sweet potatoes, switch it up with these zucchini fries. The coconut flour coating gives these fries amazing flavor and allows the zucchini to keep the crunch without getting mushy!
How to make zucchini fries:
- Cut the zucchini into quarters, leaving the skin on.
- Dip each fry into coconut milk, then into the combined coconut flour/ spice mixture, being sure to completely coat.
- Place on a cooling rack over a baking sheet.
- Bake at 425 degrees for about 30 minutes.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
My husband is NOT a fan of zucchini, but loves these fries. I call that a win!

Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries (Paleo, AIP)
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- oven safe cooling rack
- parchment paper or tin foil (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk (canned, full fat)
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 2 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° Fahrenheit . Place a cooling rack on a baking sheet (can put parchment paper under the cooling rack for easy clean up); set aside.
- Cut the ends off the zucchini, then slice into fries, keeping the skin on. I usually slice them in quarters to ensure the skin is still on each piece/fry.
- Pour the coconut milk into a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, combine spices and coconut flour.
- Set up your dipping station with each bowl/plate next to each other.
- Dip each zucchini fry into the coconut milk, then into the spice mixture. Lightly coat each fry, then set on the prepped cooling rack, skin side down. Repeat for all fries.
- Carefully place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Serve warm.
