Why this works

One zucchini, a little Parmesan and almond flour, Italian seasoning and coconut oil. Cut it into fries, coat it and fry it golden on the Instant Pot's Sauté setting.

Fry them in one layer. Crowded fries steam instead of turning golden.

Good to know
1

Keto swap: zucchini replaces potatoes, and Parmesan with almond flour replaces breadcrumbs.

2

Cook in batches if they don't all fit in one layer.

3

Pat them dry straight away to soak up extra oil.

4

Cut the sticks to a similar size so they all turn golden at the same time.

5

Storage: they're best eaten straight away, while they're crisp.
