Steps Gratinated Vegetable Sticks
First, prepare the breadcrumb topping: put the breadcrumbs, a pinch of salt, cheese, crushed garlic, and chopped parsley into a plate.
Now, cut the vegetables into sticks and mix them well to coat with the breadcrumbs, then place them on a baking tray without overlapping too much. Drizzle with olive oil and add another pinch of salt.
Bake in a static oven, preheated to 392°F (200°C) for 30 minutes, then continue baking with the fan option for another 10 minutes. Check the vegetables’ doneness and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
