Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium zucchini, ends trimmed and sliced into 8 sticks each
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional toppings: freshly grated parmesan, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, or flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise, then cut each half again to create quarters. Finally, cut each quarter into half crosswise to form 8 sticks per zucchini.
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini sticks, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until the zucchini is evenly coated.
- Lay the zucchini in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut side down for maximum browning.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender with crispy edges.
- Optional: Top with parmesan, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, or flaky sea salt before serving. Enjoy with grilled chicken, burgers, or a side of hummus.
Notes
Fresh herbs can be substituted with dried herbs if necessary, just use a smaller amount.
Ensure the zucchini pieces are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
For extra flavor, marinate the zucchini in the oil and seasonings for 15-30 minutes before roasting.
