Description
Delightful cheesy zucchini breadsticks, perfect as a snack or appetizer with gooey mozzarella and Italian seasoning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis (about 2 cups shredded)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- Optional: fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and shred the zucchinis. Squeeze out excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel.
- Make the Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded zucchini, eggs, ½ cup mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Shape and Bake: Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella on top and return to oven for another 5–7 minutes until melted and bubbly.
- Slice and Serve: Let cool slightly, slice into breadsticks, and serve with marinara or ranch for dipping.
Notes
Be sure to squeeze all moisture from the zucchini to avoid soggy breadsticks. Let the crust bake until nicely browned for the best texture.
