How to Make Baked Squash Sticks

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut 1 medium zucchini and 1 small Japanese eggplant in half lengthwise, then cut each half crosswise into 1/4-inch thick sticks.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Add the zucchini and eggplant sticks to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
  5. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.
  6. Arrange the vegetable sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes.
  8. Flip the vegetable sticks and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until tender and slightly golden brown.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (see optional recipe below).
