Zucchini Sticks with Garlic Chipotle Aioli - A healthy alternative to greasy fries, these zucchini sticks are baked to crisp perfection!

Happy weekend everyone! You guys must be so psyched about the 3-day weekend. Unfortunately I have to work on Monday, and it’s probably one of the most busiest days of the year too. Thankfully I had Friday off. Jason and I relaxed at home and went on a movie date to watch Zero Dark Thirty. It was… quite intense, to say the least. There was lots of shooting and killing of people. Although watching Jessica Chastain for two and a half hours was actually quite pleasant.

On a lighter note, let’s talk about these zucchini sticks.

Zucchini sticks is one of my favorite things to make. It uses up all the lingering zucchini and they’re so easy to make too. Plus, you can make all kinds of dipping sauces to go along with it. I’ve been on a garlic aioli kick lately so I made a chipotle garlic aioli, which paired so perfectly with the crisp oven-baked zucchini.

Jason and I enjoyed it so much, although it was really hard to share with him!
