Spicy Seasoned Keto Zucchini Fries Recipe
"In the mood for something a little spicy? Try this spicy seasoned keto zucchini fries recipe. The little kick you get from the chili powder livens up the mild zucchini. Did you know all chili powder is not created equal? As it turns out, it can vary a lot. Sometimes your chili powder is actually a chili powder blend. Blends might contain onion, garlic powder, cumin, or salt in addition to chili. The “heat” of a blend will vary, as the other seasonings cut the spiciness of the chili. Typically, the chilis used in blends are either red chili peppers or cayenne peppers. Sometimes chili powder is referred to according to the pepper used. Common varieties include chipotle, jalapeño, cayenne, chile de árbol, New Mexico, Cheongyang, pasilla, Aleppo, ancho, and piri piri chili peppers."
