How to Make Our Low-Carb Crispy Zucchini Egg Rolls
Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini
Shred the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step helps the rolls become crispy instead of soggy.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, eggs, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix until everything is evenly combined.
Step 3: Shape the Rolls
Using your hands, form the mixture into small log-shaped rolls.
Place them onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the rolls are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Allow the zucchini rolls to cool slightly before serving with your favorite healthy dipping sauce.
