Expert opinion from Jasmine Lee

In order for a food to be considered keto, the food needs to contain a low amount of carbohydrates, moderate amount of protein and mostly fat. Zucchini contains carbohydrates, but is relatively low compared to other vegetables and grains. If the fries are fried in oil, they should meet the requirements of a keto diet.

Zucchini is generally considered a keto friendly vegetable because of its low carbohydrate content. 1 medium zucchini contains about 6 grams of carbohydrate. Assuming fat (oil) is involved to fry the zucchini to make it into zucchini fries then zucchini fries would contain just the carbohydrate from the zucchini and would be keto friendly.

Compared to potatoes, zucchini has much less carbohydrate. In other words, a great option for anyone on a ketogenic diet. However, pay attention to the amount of frying in the diet, due to the excess of saturated fat and its health risks.
