Oh my gosh! Want to make a big hit at your next party or family gathering? Try these. Got this from my daughter. What a great way to have zucchini for a snack or side dish. I tried these today and they are great. I called my neighbor to come and enjoy them with me. She loved them. You can be sure I will make these again. Maybe I'll try them with marinara sauce also. They remind me of the "Bloomin Onion" we have here in Pennsylvania.

These baked zucchini sticks are a wonderful summer snack. Crisp outside, they're nice and tender inside. We loved dipping them in the sweet onion dip. Caramelizing the onions adds rich onion flavor to the dip. Honey and vinegar aren't traditional dip ingredients. They add sweetness and tang to the dip. Use this for dipping pretzels, veggies, or chips, too.
