Ingredients:

  • 3 zucchinis
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh oregano, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Creamy Horseradish Dip (or your favorite dip)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Spray a large baking sheet with oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.

  3. Slice Zucchini: Cut the zucchinis into sticks, approximately 1 1/2 inches long and 3/4 inch wide.

  4. Coat Zucchini: In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini sticks with extra virgin olive oil until evenly coated.

  5. Prepare Coating: In a plastic bag, combine grated parmesan cheese, chopped fresh oregano, fresh ground pepper, garlic powder, and salt.

  6. Coat Zucchini Sticks: Place a handful of zucchini sticks at a time into the plastic bag with the dry ingredients. Shake the bag to coat the zucchini sticks evenly.

  7. Bake: Arrange the coated zucchini sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

  8. Turn and Bake Again: After 20 minutes, carefully turn the zucchini sticks over using tongs. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sticks are golden brown and crispy.

  9. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot with Creamy Horseradish Dip or your favorite dip.
