### How to Make Vegan Zucchini and Oatmeal Sticks

1. **Prep the zucchini:** Grate the zucchinis and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This step is key to getting crispy sticks.
2. **Mix the batter:** In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini, rolled oats, chickpea flour, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
3. **Shape the sticks:** Take small portions of the mixture and form them into stick shapes, about 3 inches long and 1 inch thick.
4. **Cook:** Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the sticks for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
5. **Serve:** Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like vegan ranch, hummus, or marinara.
