Ingredients
- 14 oz zucchini (about two)
- 4 tbsps grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsps breadcrumbs
- 4 pinches fine salt
- to taste dried onion
- to taste black pepper (ground)
Steps
Wash and clean the zucchini.
Cut them into matchsticks. They should not be too thick or too thin, otherwise they will either take too long to cook or become a bit mushy.
Place them in a bowl, add the breadcrumbs, two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, a little dried garlic, and two pinches of fine salt. Mix well to combine all the ingredients. I used my hands.
Pour a little oil into the pan, heat it up, and then add the zucchini.
Try to arrange them on the bottom of the pan so that they cover it well without overlapping. Pour the remaining breadcrumbs from the bowl, a pinch of salt, and sprinkle with a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese. Raise the heat slightly, being careful not to burn them.
When they are nicely golden and crispy, turn them over, sprinkle with another tablespoon of Parmesan, a pinch of salt, and cook until golden. If desired, add a little ground black pepper.
Suggestions, Tips
The sautéed zucchini sticks are a tasty, quick, and super flavorful side dish.
To make them crispier, raise the heat, but not too much, otherwise you risk burning them. Check them frequently and turn them over if you notice they are getting too dark.
