Parmesan zucchini sticks, a quick and easy side dish, appetizer, or snack idea. 

Parmesan Zucchini Sticks

Oh my, Parmesan zucchini sticks are addictive. Admittedly, our garden has not been very productive this year. (And by “our” garden, I mean my husband’s, because I’m terrible at gardening.) He blames the soil here in Washington, DC, and I’m inclined to agree since I know so little about gardening. But we did get a few huge zucchini. These Parmesan zucchini sticks are a personal favorite! It’s such a quick and easy side dish (or appetizer or snack) and a fantastic way to get some veggies in you.

The zucchini sticks recipe here is pretty loose, because these are so easy to make and versatile. Add more or less of anything, depending on your own tastes. Play around with spices, too. Feel free to sprinkle on some red pepper flakes for heat. Or try dried herbs, smoked paprika…
