Zucchini Spears

These are like a healthier version of those breadsticks you could get at pizza hut. These are basically zucchini spears topped with parmesan cheese and baked in the oven. It's a good appetizer or party food. I definitely like the zucchini fries better than these though because these are a lot thicker and don't get as crispy, they are more squash textured instead of fries. So do not think of these as crispy like fries, unless you bake them long enough. These are more like cooked zucchini and topped with some parmesan. I think next time I will try and cut them a little thinner so they get a little more crispy. Anyways, they're good if you like zucchini and parmesan, need something quick, and they are most certainly good for you. Here's the recipe:

Recipe:

Ingredients:

• Zucchini (as many as you want)
• Parmesan cheese (as much as you want)
• Olive oil

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
• Wash zucchini and cut them in quarters- cut them in half lengthwise and cut the newly cut pieces in half lengthwise to make quarters
• Place on a greased baking sheet and drizzle olive oil on top
• Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top of the olive oil coated zucchini spears
• Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes
• Broil them for the last two minutes until the cheese is golden
• Take out and let cool before eating

And there you have it, parmesan zucchini spears!
