Delicious Zucchini Breadsticks Recipe 🍞🧀

If you’re looking for a tasty and healthier alternative to traditional breadsticks, these Zucchini Breadsticks are just the thing! They’re cheesy, flavorful, and perfect for serving as a side dish, appetizer, or even a snack. The combination of zucchini, mozzarella, and Parmesan creates a delightful treat that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Plus, they’re simple to make and ready in just 30 minutes!

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. Prepare the Zucchini:
Start by squeezing all the juices out of the grated zucchini. This step is crucial to ensure your breadsticks aren’t soggy. (Tip: Use a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel to help remove as much liquid as possible.) 💧

2. Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, and garlic parsley salt. Stir until everything is well mixed and you have a consistent mixture. 🍲

3. Form the Breadsticks:
On a lined baking dish, spread out the zucchini mixture in a thin layer, about half an inch in thickness. This thickness helps the bottom crisp up nicely while baking. 🧑‍🍳

4. Bake:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. ⏲️

5. Add the Topping:
Remove the baked crust from the oven. Top it with your choice of cheese – mozzarella or Mexican cheese work wonderfully. Bake for an additional 2-5 minutes, just until the cheese melts and turns golden brown. 🔥

6. Serve:
Slice the zucchini breadsticks and serve while they’re still hot. They pair perfectly with a marinara dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are. Either way, these breadsticks are sure to be a hit! 🍽️
