Ingredients:
- 4 cups grated zucchini
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup grated cheese of choice (for topping)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Zucchini:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible to ensure the breadsticks aren’t soggy.
- Mix the Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, parsley, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Form the Breadsticks Base:
- Spread the zucchini mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it into an even rectangular shape, about ¼-inch thick. This will form the base for your breadsticks.
- Bake the Base:
- Bake the zucchini base in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the base is firm.
- Add the Cheese Topping:
- Remove the base from the oven and sprinkle your choice of grated cheese over the top. Return the breadsticks to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cut and Serve:
- Once the cheesy zucchini breadsticks are done, let them cool slightly before cutting into strips. Serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dip.
