Crispy Baked Parmesan Zucchini Sticks

These Crispy Baked Parmesan Zucchini Sticks are the perfect healthy snack or side dish! Golden, cheesy, and irresistibly crunchy, they’re baked—not fried—so you can enjoy all the flavor without the guilt. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce for a light yet satisfying bite.

Ingredients:

• 2–3 medium zucchinis, cut into sticks

• 2–3 tbsp olive oil

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Zucchini: Cut zucchinis into even sticks or wedges for uniform baking.

3. Season: In a bowl, toss zucchini sticks with olive oil until evenly coated.

4. Coat: Mix Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Dredge each zucchini stick in the cheese mixture, pressing lightly so the coating sticks.

5. Bake: Arrange coated zucchini sticks in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.

6. Serve: Enjoy warm with marinara sauce, ranch, or Greek yogurt dip!
