Zucchini sticks are a light and tasty snack or side often enjoyed in various cuisines, particularly Mediterranean and American. Made from fresh zucchini sliced into thin strips, they are typically coated with a crispy breading mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings before being baked or fried. This dish emphasizes the natural mild flavor and tender texture of zucchini while adding a satisfying crunch. Zucchini is low in calories and rich in essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber, making it a healthy choice for snacking. The preparation method determines its overall health profile; baked zucchini sticks are lower in fat compared to fried versions. While the breading adds flavor, it can increase calorie and carbohydrate content, so portion moderation is key. Ideal as a guilt-free appetizer or side, zucchini sticks offer a delicious way to enjoy vegetables with a touch of indulgence.
