Crispy Zucchini Sticks
Zucchini. It’s definitely a vegetable with a magnitude of uses… You can grill it, saute it, even bake with it, but my favourite way of eating zucchini is in stick form. That’s right, zucchini sticks.
They bake quickly, and come together with very few ingredients… and did I mention they are healthy? Pair them with some marinara sauce for dipping and you won’t even think twice about a deep fried cheese stick… Which, to be honest, was exactly what I was craving before I made these.
And in case you didn’t know, now would be the perfect time to pick up some zucchini at the grocery store, because here in SW Ontario, zucchini is in season. Can you say fresh?
