Gratinated Zucchini Sticks

Method

1. Remove the terminal ends of the zucchini.
2. Slice the zucchini into thick pieces about 1 cm. Then cut each slice in half lengthwise and then in half again to obtain sticks.
3. Place the zucchini sticks in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss well to coat.
4. Prepare the coating: mix together grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
5. Add the coating mixture to the zucchini sticks and use your hands to press the coating onto each piece, making it adhere well.
6. Lightly oil the bottom of a baking sheet.
7. Arrange the coated zucchini sticks on the baking sheet. Sprinkle any remaining coating mixture on top.
8. Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil over the top for extra crispiness.
9. Sprinkle salt over the zucchini sticks.
10. Bake in a preheated static oven at 200°C (390°F) until golden brown and crispy (no precise time given; check for desired color).
11. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
