Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 to 4 zucchini, (trimmed and cut length-wise into quarters (sticks))
Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, (no stems)
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
pinch kosher salt

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.
