Oven Baked Zucchini Sticks

 These oven-baked zucchini sticks are a great way to use the abundance of your zucchini crop. They make a perfect appetizer for any meal, or just have them as a snack.

Oven Baked Zucchini Sticks

These zucchini sticks or fries are so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Bobby and his girlfriend Abby made dinner the other night. They made these delicious zucchini sticks as an appetizer.

If you don't have a garden, just pick up a couple of medium-sized zucchini at the grocery store or your local farmers market. With a few more ingredients that most of us already have in the pantry, you'll be on your way to making this easy and tasty appetizer. 

Baked zucchini fries

First, peel and cut the zucchini in half. Then, slice them like french fries, about 3 to 4 inches long. This part was my job, Bobby and Abby did the rest.

Prepare zucchini fries

They set up a dredging station with flour, a beaten egg, and seasoned bread crumbs. First, the flour, then dip them into the egg, and then the bread crumbs.

  1. What a deliciously easy way to turn garden zucchini into a tasty snack. My Korean daughter-in-law follows a similar recipe for slices of eggplant. It's the Panko flakes that make a difference. I use them all the time. Yum.

  3. I love the zucchini sticks & dip served in one of our favorite Italian restaurants, but I have never prepared them at home. This is awesome! We will certainly be trying this in our kitchen soon. Thanks Abby, Bobby, & Sam for sharing the recipe and instructions.

  4. Sam, I made an almost identical dish last week, except that 1) I sliced the zucchini into rounds instead of sticks and 2) I substituted a mix of seasoned pork rind crumbs and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the breadcrumbs to make it low carb. I oven-baked mine as well and they were a big hit. I served them with a side of marinara. Easy and delish!

  5. I'm going to have to make these; what an easy recipe! I would have to make a lot because they would be devoured by my gang!
