How do you make zucchini taste better? You wrap it in bacon and fry it! These air fried zucchini bites are the best snack or appetizer.
Zucchini Bites
After making this easy air fryer recipe, zucchini just might become your favorite vegetable. The bacon becomes extra crispy, and the zucchini cooks perfectly.
The zucchini is seasoned perfectly with a combination of bold and earthy spices. And you can change the spice combination to whatever you like.
This recipe makes four servings – and with only 1 gram net carb in each serving, you’ll enjoy snacking on them at your party or eating them for lunch. They are a guilt-free choice, and no one will be able to tell that they are keto-friendly.
Bacon Wrapped Zucchini
What can you wrap in bacon? It turns out, quite a few different things!
Bacon wrapped Little Smokies are a classic appetizer, but you can also make keto bacon wrapped cabbage and even BBQ bacon wrapped pickles. So why not try to wrap zucchini in bacon, too?
The result is incredible! The smoky and savory bacon perfectly complements the slightly sweet zucchini pieces.
You can then dip them in your favorite BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, or just eat them like they are.
Keto Zucchini Appetizer
Parties can be a big struggle when you’re on a keto diet. It seems like everything is either breaded or covered in sugar.
That’s why zucchini bites are so amazing. Everyone loves bacon-wrapped food and you can eat the same food as everyone else.
Add a few bowls of keto-friendly dips and let everyone pick out their favorites. If you’re going to serve them at a party, I suggest adding a toothpick into each one so that everyone can pick them up easily or place a few of them into a small bowl for each guest.
What To Eat With Zucchini
Bacon wrapped zucchini bites taste good with any entree or main dish that you prepare. The spices pair well with any kind of meat that you cook!
I prefer to serve them at parties or munch on them during lunch, but you can also eat them as a side dish. If you like beef, then make keto air fryer Mongolian beef with it.
The mild zucchini tastes fantastic with the bold beef. Are you in the mood for stew? Make a hearty and creamy crockpot ranch chicken stew.
The bacon will taste perfect with the ranch flavors and you can never go wrong with either Keto Italian Beef with Cabbage Noodles or the popular Keto TikTok Chicken Cobbler. Both of those meals are easy to make for your family and everyone loves them.
Zucchini Snack
Can you make zucchini bites ahead? Yes, you can. Store the zucchini bites in an airtight container and keep them refrigerated for up to three days.
Then, reheat them in the air fryer so they crisp back up. They are freezer-friendly too!
Place them in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Put the baking sheet in the freezer.
When the zucchini bites are completely frozen, put them in a freezer-safe food storage bag and keep them frozen for up to six months.
