Baked zucchini spears with olive oil is a simple yet delicious dish that makes a perfect side or snack. The zucchinis, when baked, turn crispy on the outside while retaining a tender interior. This recipe highlights the natural flavors of the zucchini, enhanced by a touch of olive oil and seasoning.
- Ensure even coating: Toss the zucchini spears thoroughly in the olive oil and salt mixture to ensure each spear is evenly coated. This will help them bake uniformly and enhance the overall flavor.
- Space out the spears: Arrange the zucchini spears on the baking sheet with enough space between them. Overcrowding can lead to steaming rather than baking, resulting in less crispy spears.
- Experiment with seasonings: Feel free to add other seasonings such as black pepper, garlic powder, or Italian herbs to elevate the flavor of the zucchini spears.
- Parmesan upgrade: Sprinkling a bit of grated Parmesan cheese over the spears before baking can add a deliciously cheesy crust.
Baked zucchini spears with olive oil are a tasty and healthful option for any meal. They are easy to prepare, requiring minimal ingredients and cooking time. Whether served as a side dish or a nutritious snack, these zucchini spears are sure to be a hit.
