Ingredients

Servings6

1 medium zucchini (about 1 cup grated, thoroughly squeezed dry)
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze firmly to remove as much excess moisture as possible to avoid soggy biscuits.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, grated Parmesan, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
Add the eggs and mix thoroughly to form a thick batter.
Fold in the grated and dried zucchini and the chopped parsley if using, ensuring the batter is evenly mixed.
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
Line the air fryer basket with perforated parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Scoop about 3 tablespoons of batter per biscuit onto the basket, shaping them into rounds about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should get 6 biscuits.
Air fry the biscuits at 350°F (175°C) for 14-15 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
The biscuits should be golden brown and firm to the touch when done.
Remove from the air fryer and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a savory breakfast or snack.

Recipe guidance

Crispiness Control

Pat the zucchini dry, avoid crowding, and use only a light coat of oil or sauce before cooking. Add wet sauces near the end when you want the outside to stay crisp.
