Crispy Oat and Zucchini Sticks
Crispy Oat and Zucchini Sticks – A Flavorful, Crunchy Delight!

Welcome to a culinary adventure where creativity meets nutrition in the kitchen! These Crispy Oat and Zucchini Sticks are a delightful snack or appetizer that brings together the wholesome goodness of zucchini with the crunch of oats and a savory twist from fresh herbs and nutritional yeast. Whether you’re looking for a healthy snack or something to impress your guests, these crispy zucchini sticks will hit the spot. They’re perfect for dipping into marinara, vegan ranch, or spicy aioli for a burst of extra flavor. Let’s get cooking!
Table of Contents
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free if needed)
- 1/2 cup oat flour (you can grind rolled oats in a blender if you don’t have oat flour)
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (for a cheesy flavor)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, or chives)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or chili flakes for added flavor
Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Zucchini:
Start by washing your zucchinis and patting them dry with a clean towel. Using a box grater, grate both zucchinis. Once grated, place the zucchini into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture—this is key to achieving crispy sticks!

2️⃣ Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup oat flour, 1/4 cup nutritional yeast, minced garlic, and fresh herbs. Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. If you want to spice things up, add 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or chili flakes at this stage. Mix everything well until fully combined.

3️⃣ Adjust the Consistency:
If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to achieve the right consistency. It should be sticky enough to form into sticks. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more oat flour until it thickens up.

4️⃣ Shape the Sticks:
Now it’s time to shape your mixture! Take small amounts and roll them into sticks or logs, roughly about 12-16 sticks, depending on the size. Place them on a plate or baking sheet, and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes to help them firm up.

5️⃣ Cook the Sticks:
In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the zucchini sticks for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan—if needed, cook the sticks in batches to maintain that crispy texture.

6️⃣ Bake for Extra Crispiness (Optional):
For an extra crispy finish, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the cooked sticks to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until they become golden brown and super crunchy.

7️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:
Let the crispy oat and zucchini sticks cool slightly before serving. These sticks are best enjoyed with a variety of dips such as marinara sauce, vegan ranch dressing, or spicy aioli for a flavor-packed experience!

Why You’ll Love These Crispy Zucchini Sticks:
- Healthy & Flavorful: Packed with fiber and nutrients from zucchini and oats, these sticks are a guilt-free snack that doesn’t compromise on flavor.
- Customizable: You can tweak the herbs, spices, and dips to suit your tastes. Add more heat with chili flakes or experiment with different herbs.
- Crispy Texture: The combination of frying and baking makes these sticks perfectly crispy on the outside while staying tender on the inside.
- Perfect Snack or Appetizer: These zucchini sticks are perfect for serving at parties, as a light snack, or as a side dish for lunch or dinner.

Fluffy Cheese and Herb Stuffed Buns

Fluffy Cheese and Herb Stuffed Buns
Table of Contents
Ingredients:
For the Dough:

Dry yeast – 10g (1 pack)
Sugar – 1 tablespoon (20g)
Milk – 1.5 cups (300ml), warm
Water – ½ cup (100ml), warm
Oil – 100ml (about ½ cup or 1 tea glass)
Egg white – 1 (reserve the yolk for later)
Vinegar – 1 tablespoon (10ml)
Flour – 5.5 cups (660g), all-purpose
Salt – 1 teaspoon (8g)
To Grease the Dough:

Butter – 150g, melted
For the Filling:

Cheese – Crumbled or grated (use your favorite type like feta, mozzarella, or a mixture)
Fresh parsley – Chopped
For the Topping:

Egg yolk – 1 (reserved from earlier)
Milk – 1 teaspoon
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine 10g of dry yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 100ml of warm water. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy. This means the yeast is activated and ready to use.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of warm milk, 100ml of oil, 1 egg white (reserve the yolk for later), 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and the activated yeast mixture. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add 5.5 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt into the wet mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or using your hands. Mix until a soft dough begins to form.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth, soft, and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it’s manageable but still soft.
Let the Dough Rise: Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

Mix the Filling: While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by combining your favorite cheese (crumbled or grated) with fresh chopped parsley in a small bowl. Set aside. You can adjust the amount of filling based on how cheesy you want the buns to be.
Step 3: Shape the Buns

Divide the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into equal portions, depending on the size of the buns you want. For medium-sized buns, divide the dough into 10-12 portions.
Shape and Fill the Buns: Take each portion and roll it into a ball. Flatten the ball slightly and place a spoonful of the cheese and parsley mixture in the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch them together to seal, forming a bun. Place the filled buns, seam side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Grease the Buns: Once all the buns are shaped, brush each one generously with melted butter to give them extra softness and flavor.
Step 4: Let the Buns Rise Again

Second Rise: Cover the baking sheet with a clean towel and let the buns rise again for about 20-30 minutes in a warm place. This second rise ensures the buns will be fluffy and light when baked.
Step 5: Bake the Buns

Preheat the Oven: While the buns are rising, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Brush with Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved egg yolk with 1 teaspoon of milk. Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash to give them a golden, glossy finish.
Bake: Place the buns in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the buns are cooked through.
Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Step 6: Serve

Enjoy Warm: Serve the fluffy cheese and herb stuffed buns warm. They’re perfect on their own or alongside a bowl of soup, a fresh salad, or as part of a breakfast spread.
Cooking Tips:
Type of Cheese: You can use a variety of cheeses for the filling, depending on your preference. Feta, mozzarella, cheddar, or a mixture of soft and hard cheeses work well.
Vinegar in the Dough: The addition of vinegar helps to tenderize the dough and gives the buns a slight tang, which complements the savory cheese filling.
Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator overnight. Just bring it to room temperature and allow it to rise before shaping the buns.
Additional Fillings: Feel free to add other ingredients to the filling, such as chopped olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or sautéed spinach, to enhance the flavor.
Storage:
Refrigeration: Store any leftover buns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 5-10 minutes to refresh them.
Freezing: You can freeze the unbaked buns after shaping them. Place them on a tray to freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to bake, thaw the buns in the refrigerator and let them rise before baking as directed.
