Description
These cheesy zucchini breadsticks are a crispy, savory, and gluten-free snack that combines fresh shredded zucchini with gooey cheese and garlic herb seasoning for an irresistible appetizer or side dish.
Ingredients
• 4 cups grated zucchini
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp garlic parsley salt
• 1 cup grated cheese of choice (for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, and garlic parsley salt. Stir until well mixed.
4. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking tray, about 1/2 inch thick.
5. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the base is set and edges begin to brown.
6. Remove from oven, sprinkle the additional cheese on top, and return to oven for 2–5 minutes until melted and golden.
7. Slice into breadsticks and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
– Be sure to squeeze zucchini thoroughly—moisture is your enemy here.
– You can use any cheese blend for the topping: mozzarella, cheddar, or Mexican blend work great.
– Serve with marinara or pesto dipping sauce for extra flavor.
– Reheat in oven to keep edges crisp—avoid microwaving if possible.
– Store in airtight container for up to 3 days; can be frozen before baking for prep-ahead ease.
