Ingredients
- 1 zucchini medium-size
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper Ground
- ⅓ cup parmesan grated
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Rinse zucchini well. Trim off zucchini ends and any bad parts. If the skin is damaged or tough, peel that part off.
- Cut the zucchini lengthwise into half and then quarter. You will need thumb-thick and long sticks, so cut them accordingly. Try to make them all the same thickness so that they cook evenly in the oven.
- Place cut sticks into a large mixing bowl and throw in salt. Toss them so that the salt is coating your zucchini. We do that so that excess moisture comes out because zucchini is super wet.
- Leave the zucchini and salt to sit for about 30 minutes at room-temperature.
- Drain and discard excess liquids that have come out. Pat dry your zucchini sticks with a kitchen paper towel.
- Preheat your oven to 350 Fahrenheit (180 degree Celsius).
- Season your zucchini with ground black pepper, grated parmesan and olive oil.
- Toss it all well so that the zucchini are coated properly, but be careful to not damage your zucchini.
- Place zucchini sticks next to each other, with some space in between, on a parchment baking sheet.
- Bake for about 30–40 minutes at 350 Fahrenheit (180 degree Celsius), or until they appear a bit golden.
- Enjoy them warm as a side dish or as a snack.

Notes
- You can use small, medium or large zucchini to make your Parmesan zucchini sticks. If you use large overgrown zucchini, make sure to cut off though fibrous parts.
- Optionally, you can choose to flavor them further by adding a few drops of hot sauce, garlic powder or oregano.
