Ingredients
- 1 package of frozen surimi sticks
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Thaw the frozen surimi sticks by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or submerging them in cold water for about 30 minutes. Thawing is important to ensure even cooking.
2. Once thawed, pat the surimi sticks dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful marinade.
4. Dip each surimi stick into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them sit in the marinade for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
6. While the oven is preheating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the marinated surimi sticks on the baking sheet, leaving space between each stick.
7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Flip the surimi sticks halfway through cooking to ensure they are evenly browned on both sides.
8. Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the surimi sticks to cool slightly before serving.
9. Serve your delectable surimi sticks as an appetizer, main course, or in a salad. They pair well with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, spicy mayo, or even sweet chili sauce.
