Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium zucchini cut into 3-inch long sticks, like french fries
cooking spray
1 Tbsp dried oregano
1 Tbsp ground cumin
salt & pepper to taste
1 c chili sauce or mild taco sauce

  • 4. Place in 500° F oven and cook 15 to 18 minutes. Top with chili sauce or taco sauce. Serve hot.

Tips:
