Ingredients:
2–3 medium zucchinis, cut into sticks
2–3 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional: a pinch of chili flakes for a little heat 🌶️
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Prepare the zucchini:
Wash and cut the zucchinis into thick sticks (like fries). Pat them dry with paper towels — this helps them crisp up better. - Season:
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini sticks with olive oil until evenly coated.
In a separate small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. - Coat:
Roll each zucchini stick in the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently so the coating sticks well. - Bake:
Arrange the coated sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. - Serve:
Enjoy hot with a dipping sauce like Greek yogurt dip, ranch, or marinara! 🍅
💡 Tips:
For extra crispiness, broil the sticks for the last 1–2 minutes.
Avoid overcrowding the baking tray so the zucchini crisps evenly.
These are great as a healthy snack, appetizer, or side dish!
