Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix together the grated Parmesan, thyme, and spices in a medium bowl.
- Prepare a large baking sheet that's topped with a wire baking rack. Lightly brush the wire baking rack with extra virgin olive oil (or use a healthy cooking spray.) Place the zucchini spears, skin-side down, on the baking rack in a single layer. Brush each one with extra virgin olive oil.
- Sprinkle the herb and cheese topping on each zucchini stick so they are all lightly coated.
- Bake in the heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. For a crispy golden topping, broil for 2 to 3 minutes more. Watch it carefully so the zucchini does not burn.
- Serve immediately as an appetizer with a dipping sauce, or as a side next to your protein of choice.
