Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully place the zucchini sticks in the skillet. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking. You may need to cook them in batches.
5. Baking for Extra Crispiness:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once all the sticks are cooked, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for an additional 10-15 minutes. This step ensures that the sticks are fully cooked through and gives them an extra crispy texture.
6. Serving the Sticks:
Remove the sticks from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice. Some great options include marinara sauce, vegan ranch, or a spicy aioli.
