These roasted zucchini sticks are tender on the inside with golden, crispy edges and savory seasoning. They make an easy and healthy side dish that pairs well with a variety of meals.

Ingredients

  • 3 medium zucchini, ends trimmed and sliced into 8 sticks each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: freshly grated parmesan
  • Optional: lemon zest
  • Optional: red pepper flakes
  • Optional: flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise, then cut each half in half again to create quarters. Cut each quarter in half crosswise to make 8 sticks per zucchini.
  3. Place the zucchini sticks in a large bowl.
  4. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the zucchini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing cut sides down whenever possible.
  6. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until tender and golden brown with crispy edges.
  7. Transfer to a serving dish.
  8. Garnish with parmesan, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, or flaky sea salt if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra browning, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
  • Italian seasoning can be used in place of oregano.
  • Serve with hummus, grilled chicken, burgers, or your favorite dipping sauce.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
