Fried zucchini sticks are a delicious appetizer or snack that blends crispy textures with tender, flavorful zucchini. Typically prepared by coating fresh zucchini strips in a seasoned breadcrumb or batter mixture, they are then fried to golden perfection. This dish has its roots in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, where zucchini is a staple ingredient. While the frying process adds richness, zucchini itself is a nutrient-dense vegetable, high in vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, making it a healthier alternative to traditional fried snacks. However, the cooking method can increase calorie and fat content, so portion control and baking or air-frying can make it a lighter option. Often served with marinara or ranch dipping sauce, fried zucchini sticks offer a tasty way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet with a satisfying crunch.
