Vegan Oven-Fried Zucchini Sticks

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchini, cut into sticks
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for drizzling

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, pour the plant-based milk, and in a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
  3. Dip each zucchini stick first into the flour mixture, then into the plant-based milk, and finally coat it with the breadcrumbs. Make sure they are evenly coated for the perfect crunch!
  4. Place the coated zucchini sticks onto the prepared baking sheet. If desired, lightly spray them with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil to enhance browning.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
  6. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or a spicy vegan aioli.
