Baked Zucchini Sticks (Gluten Free)
These are not for sharing. Or you can double the recipe to make things fair. I eat these for movie night with a nice squeezing of lemon. I don’t even need a dip. Although a delicious yogurty Tsatziki is a duly welcomed addition.
Ingredients:
The simplest of recipes sometimes produces the greatest of results. All you need for this yumminess is two zucchinis, olive oil, cheese, corn meal and spices. I added some paprika, onion powder and garlic powder.
substitutes:
Any cheese will work with this recipes. Just make sure it is grated and in small crumbles. If you don’t have corn meal, you can use corn starch or regular all purpose flour. You can even use bread crumbs or almond flour.

- serve with lots of lemon
- Dip: Lazy Tzatziki
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 420°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice your zucchini into sticks – not too thick and not too thin. Transfer to a large bowl and add in the oil. Stir to coat everything well. Next add in the cheese, corn meal and spices.

I am obsessed with this website but this was a miss for me. The zucchini came out floppy and soggy, and the corn meal was quite hard to chew but the topping was not crunchy.
Most of it was thrown away, so I can’t give anything more than 1 star
What is liquid gold? I have Googled this and came across a variety of things.
Hi Cynthia, its just another term for olive oil!
These are great. Make sure to use the corn meal, as it gives the crunch needed. Reminds me of fried okra without frying. Going to try this with eggplant and yellow squash.
Hi Cindy, I’m so glad you agree about the corn meal – its a key ingredient here for sure! Thank for the kind review too!
I cook eggplant. I peel it and salt it let it sit for one hour then rinse good… takes away that bitter taste! slice thin usually. but sticks may work.
would love to hear some of the spices choices people are making for these… tyvm
I did not have corn meal but I had left over corn bread mix. I used two tablespoons. It turn out great but not crispy.
the best and very tasty
πολί ορέα 👏Lecker, Lecker, Lecker…..😋
Great recipe! I backed up it in the air fryer. Next time I’ll try it in the oven.
Everyone loved them, I cut the zucchini too thickly so I needed to cook it a bit longer, however they were great. I served them with the tzatziki sauce.
Hi LInda, sounds awesome with the tzatziki and thanks for trying out the recipe!
Hi! These are delicious!! How do you make them more crispy? Mine were more soggy- but so darn good!
have you tried making these in an air fryer?
Great recipe, delicious 😋 thank you!
These were yummy! And if they’re helping you lose weight – that’s a bonus!!
OH! MY! GOD!
Myself and my wife really enjoyed this dish. A couple of small differences to the original only because of not being able to get the proper ingredients.
I used Pandora breadcrumbs instead of cornmeal.
I used onion salt instead of onion powder (are they the same?) 🤔😬.
Completely forgot the Lemon and only realised this when we were agreeing how fantastic the dish was.
AMAZING
I love You work since I’ve meet You on IG! Very tasty zucchini “fries”
