Zucchini Sticks Recipe - An Old Pub Classic! | Club Foody

Do you ever wonder what happened to zucchini sticks?

Back in the 80s and 90s, when we were going out to a pub or brasserie, on the menu in the starter/appetizer section there was always zucchini sticks served with ranch dressing!
Then “poof!” they just disappeared…

We were out with our friends for dinner and while we were studying what was on the menu, we started talking about the dishes we used to enjoy that are rarely on the menus these days. It’s not like they weren’t good or unpopular… au contraire. I guess it’s like anything else… it’s not “trendy” anymore.

I realize that everyone wants to evolve and try new food items but please you have to leave the good stuff on the menu. Many good dishes vanish with time but there’s nothing stopping you from making them at home with my Zucchini Stick recipe!

This finger food is fun to eat. It’s also a recipe that can be made in less than 30 minutes. I bread mine in Panko that I rapidly grind in my spice grinder so it’s not as coarse and it adheres better to the zucchini. I also season them with spices.

After quickly frying them in a skillet, I like to transfer the sticks on a plate lined with paper towel so it can absorb the excess grease – and at the same time removing the excess guilt of eating something fried… lol!

I also serve them with my Zippy Ranch Dressing! C’mon, if I can make it at home why buy it from the store. If you haven’t tried my dressing yet, you’re missing out on something because the taste is so fresh and tasty with a little kick to it to make it deliciously different from others…

Next time you’re craving these Zucchini Sticks and can’t find them at your local pub because they’re not “in” anymore, go buy a zucchini and simply make them at home. This quick and easy recipe will certainly take your taste buds back in time and put a smile on your face…
Bon Appétit!

P.S. Keep the temperature of the oil consistent at 350ºF otherwise if the oil is too hot, it will burn the sticks and if the oil is below, the sticks will absorb the oil making them oily.
