Gluten Free Baked Zucchini Sticks (easy recipe is on my site: HungryHappens.Net)

These are not for sharing. Or you can double the recipe to make things fair. I eat these for movie night with a nice squeezing of lemon. I don’t even need a dip. Although a delicious yogurty Tsatziki is a duly welcomed addition.

Ingredients:

The simplest of recipes sometimes produces the greatest of results. All you need for this yumminess is two zucchinis, olive oil, cheese, corn meal and spices. I added some paprika, onion powder and garlic powder.

substitutes:

Any cheese will work with this recipes. Just make sure it is grated and in small crumbles. If you don’t have corn meal, you can use corn starch or regular all purpose flour. You can even use bread crumbs or almond flour.

3 tbs Parmesan cheese, grated

1/2 tsp onion powder
salt to taste

Slice your zucchini into sticks – not too thick and not too thin. Transfer to a large bowl and add in the oil. Stir to coat everything well. Next add in the cheese, corn meal and spices. Toss again to coat all. Transfer to your baking sheet and spread out (its best if they don’t touch). Bake for 25 minutes or until crispy. Serve hot with lemon wedges.

You can use any grated cheese in place of Parmesan. You can use corn starch, all purpose flour or almond flour to substitute for the corn meal.

You can use Nutritional Yeast instead of grated parmesan to make this vegan.

Cheesy Chicken Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner

A recipe from one of my favorite blogs – follow the links and visit the original site this recipe came from!

Use up your veggies and create this ultimate chicken dinner go-to.

@hungryhappens

I can’t stop thinking about how juicy and tender the chicken comes out with that simple 20 minute milk marinate. Its so easy to add in to your prep because you start with the chicken, and while that’s marinating, you chop up your veggies and getting everything else ready.

We used chicken breasts, but you can also use boneless skinless thighs here too. Also customizable are the vegetables; eggplant, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc. can be subbed it. This is definitely a clean out your fridge type of meal.

Once you get the ingredients tossed all together and spread out on your baking sheet, make certain they don’t look dry to you, especially the vegetables! The beauty of this dish is that the breadcrumbs and pecorino coat the chicken and give it a nice texture. You can leave out the last step of mozzarella cheese if you’re not into that and this dish will still rock your socks off!

The lemon juice is used to interact with the baking soda and help the loaf rise.
