Parmesan Pesto Zucchini Sticks
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Easy
Total: 35 min
Active: 35 min
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
3 medium (6 to 8-inch-long) zucchini, trimmed
1/2 cup good store-bought pesto
8 tablespoons good olive oil, divided
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 large garlic cloves
1 1/4 cups panko (Japanese bread flakes)
3/4 cup freshly grated Italian Parmesan cheese
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Flaked sea salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
Cut each zucchini in quarters lengthwise through the stem and then cut each quarter again in thirds lengthwise, making long skinny spears. In a medium shallow bowl, whisk together the pesto and 4 tablespoons of the olive oil and set aside. Place the parsley and garlic in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until they are finely minced. Add the panko, Parmesan, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper plus the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Pulse only until all the panko is moistened with oil. Pour the mixture onto a dinner plate.
Dip the zucchini spears first into the pesto mixture, turning to coat completely, then place each one in the crumb mixture, pressing and turning to coat thickly. Arrange the sticks in rows on the prepared sheet pans.
Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, until the zucchini is tender and the crumbs have crisped to a crunchy golden brown. Sprinkle lightly with flaked sea salt and serve hot.

If it's a 5 lb zucchini should I peel the Skin? I tried to make a zucchini bread with one of the giant zucchinis I had and I felt like I was mostly taking out skin pieces from my bread

that is way too much oil, pesto should be thicker

Ina, you’ve outdone yourself once again! I’m definitely going to try these tonight. I’m going to omit the Pinoli (Pine) Nuts, and double the amount of Walnuts called for.

FYI – Most pine nuts in stores are from China.
As a rule, I do not anything from China. And I do not give pets treats from China.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen her cook with curly parsley. She’s been vocal of how she prefers Italian flat leaf. Perhaps they couldn’t get it during covid?

That was to much work if you ask me. I know olive oil is good for you, but that was a lot of it lol
