Vegan Zucchini and Oatmeal Sticks Recipe

Ingredients:

2 medium zucchinis, grated
Zucchini is a versatile vegetable that’s low in calories and high in essential nutrients such as vitamins A and C. Grating the zucchini helps it blend seamlessly into the batter.
1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free if needed)
Rolled oats add a hearty texture and are a great source of fiber, which aids in digestion and keeps you full longer.
1/2 cup oat flour (or grind rolled oats in a blender to make your own)
Oat flour acts as a binding agent and adds extra fiber and nutrients. Making your own is cost-effective and ensures freshness.
1/4 cup nutritional yeast (for a cheesy flavor).
Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy, nutty flavor and is an excellent source of B-vitamins, which are crucial for energy production.
2 cloves garlic, minced
Garlic adds a rich, savory flavor and offers numerous health benefits, including boosting the immune system.
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or chives)
Fresh herbs not only enhance the flavor but also add antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
1/2 teaspoon salt
Salt enhances the flavors of the ingredients. Opt for sea salt or Himalayan pink salt for added minerals.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Black pepper adds a subtle heat and aids in digestion.
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Olive oil is a healthy fat that is good for heart health. It also helps in achieving a crispy texture.
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or chili flakes for added flavor
These spices add a smoky or spicy kick, making the sticks more flavorful.
