This paper develops a fully discrete Fourier spectral Galerkin (FSG) method for the fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov (fZK) equation posed on a two-dimensional periodic domain. The equation generalizes the classical ZK model to incorporate nonlocal dispersion through a fractional Laplacian of order $\alpha \in [1,2]$. We first propose a semi-discrete FSG scheme in space that preserves the discrete analogs of mass, momentum, and energy. The existence and uniqueness of semi-discrete solutions are established. Using compactness arguments, we prove the uniform convergence of the semi-discrete approximations to the unique solution of the fZK equation for the periodic initial data in $H^{1+\alpha}_{\mathrm{per}}(\Omega)$. The method achieves spectral convergence of order $\mathcal{O}(N^{-r})$ for initial data in $H^r_{\mathrm{per}}$ with $r \geq \alpha+1$, and exponential convergence for analytic solutions utilizing a modified projection. An efficient integrating-factor Runge-Kutta time discretization is designed to handle the stiff fractional term, and an error analysis is presented. Numerical experiments validate the theoretical results and demonstrate the method's effectiveness across various fractional orders.
