Roasted Zucchini Sticks

Written by Published on Updated on May 30, 2019 in Appetizers, Side Dish

Hello to all!!  I hope your weekend was wonderful, wishing everyone a good week!!

If your like me always on the look out to try new snacks,  and I am not referring to junk food snacks but Veggies snacks and if you are watching or not watching your weight, either way you will enjoy this delicious snack that I made yesterday.  Since I am on a diet, and I don’t always follow my diet,  I like adding different snacks in between meals than the usual yogurt or fruit.  Yep, on a diet pffff, I kind of put on a few pounds/kilos during the winter and need to lose them.  I have been at it for a while now, and it’s going well, ohhh I also started powering walking again, which I enjoy. The weather has been so good it is great to be outside…I tried the kickboxing exercise at home butttt hmmm I think that really isn’t for me. 🙁  But it is good to try new things so that you know which fits and which don’t right?? 🙂

So, these veggies are roasted and dipped in Italian breadcrumbs and or if you prefer you can dip them into plain breadcrumbs and just add a pinch of garlic, or onion to taste.  I sometimes dip them into Greek Yogurt just to give each bite a bit more of a boost in taste than they already have, 🙂 but believe me if you try this recipe you will just love them. 🙂  

P.S.  hardly any calories to these hehehehe

ROASTED ZUCCHINI STICKS

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Zucchini sliced in strips
  • 2 Egg Whites Whisked
  • 2 1/2 cups Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups Parmesan Cheese
  • Pepper
  • Onion or Garlic Powder optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl add the Italian Seasoning, Parmesan Cheese and Pepper. Mix to combine
  • In a separate bowl whisk the Egg Whites.
  • Cut Zucchini into stripes.
  • Dip Zucchini stripes into the Egg Whites, and then dip into the Italian Seasoning.
  • In a large baking pan oil brush the pan before placing the baking paper. (this helps the paper to stay in one place).
  • Then place the zucchini in a pre- heated oven and bake for about 30 minutes at 180 degrees, depending on your oven. They should turn out golden brown and crispy. 🙂 You can top off the Zucchini with either Garlic or Onion powder before you place it into the oven, but if your seasoning is intense then there is no need to add any extra seasoning. unless of course you want the taste even stronger!! 🙂 it is completely up to you 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

      Yeah, Dee I tried it but I just couldn’t get into it…But I absolutely agree that you need to try new things so that you can see what makes you feel good. I am back to power walking and debating if I should pick up a step board…because I really enjoy that with music and jumping hahahha

    Well, done, kickboxing 🙂 It is not for everyone I have to say. I tried it couple of times and I actually like it, however when it gets too intense I am not able 😀 And courgette sticks – great idea 🙂 I should give it a go as we always have courgette at home

        I played tennis, power walked, did yoga for many many years but after the accident I had to stop it all…but now back to normal so I can do Yoga again but my arm won’t let me do much. I find Yoga good for my inner self. 🙂

        You are amazing and I am happy to hear that you are able to be back! 🙂 Yes, with that I absolutely agree. I am trying now a bit of meditation and to be honest, it is not that bad… 😀 But sometimes difficult to find a corner where no one reaches me in our noisy house 😀

    Yummy snack! I could maybe even get my kids to love zucchini!😉I’m also doing more exercising, and I also love power walking. Kickboxing is cool, I used to do Kung Fu, but that’s a long time ago, lol. I also used to love to swim but can’t do because of my shoulders. How is your arm doing? 😘

    I quickly went over to that website and YouTube. I really like it, some are similar exercises that I do at home already. Now summer break is over and I need to get back doing a bit more again. I’ve been going to the gym with my son once a week, and I had to walk and hike a lot in Switzerland, hahaha😄
