Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 4 cups grated zucchini (about 2 large zucchini)
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ⅓ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Topping

  • 1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare zucchini: Grate the zucchini finely and then squeeze as much moisture as possible from it using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This step is crucial to prevent soggy breadsticks.
  3. Mix ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the drained zucchini, ½ cup shredded mozzarella, ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, one large egg, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
  4. Shape breadsticks: Shape the zucchini mixture into breadstick-like forms on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for baking.
  5. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of finely shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the tops of the shaped breadsticks for a cheesy crust.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out all excess moisture from the zucchini to avoid soggy breadsticks.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with other melting cheeses such as cheddar or provolone as preferred.
  • Serve warm for the best taste and texture; these breadsticks make a great appetizer or side dish.
  • For a low-carb option, these zucchini breadsticks are a great alternative to traditional breadsticks.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best results.
