Ingredients:
For the Zucchini Breadsticks:
- 2 cups fresh yellow corn 🌽
- 1/3 cup mayo 🥄
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella 🧀
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil 🌿
- 3 tablespoons chopped green onions 🧅
- 2 teaspoons honey 🍯
- 2 teaspoons tamari or soy sauce 🍶
- Chili flakes 🌶️ (to taste)
- 24-26 square wonton wrappers 🥟
- Avocado oil, for frying 🥑
For the Sesame Ginger Soy Sauce:
- 1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce 🍶
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 🍚
- 2 tablespoons hot chili oil 🌶️
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger 🫚
- 1 clove garlic, grated 🧄
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds 🌰
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions or chives 🌱
For the Sweet Chili Mango Sauce:
- 1/2 cup sweet Thai chili sauce 🌶️
- 2 tablespoons ketchup 🍅
- 1/2 cup diced mango 🥭
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh yellow corn, mayo, shredded mozzarella, chopped basil, green onions, honey, tamari or soy sauce, and a pinch of chili flakes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. This mixture will be the delicious filling for your breadsticks. 🌽🥄🧀🌿🧅🍯🍶🌶️
2️⃣ Assemble the Breadsticks: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place about 1 rounded teaspoon of the zucchini mixture onto the center of each wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold it over the filling to create a triangle. Press the edges together to seal. Repeat this process with the remaining filling and wrappers. 🥟💧
3️⃣ Fry the Breadsticks: In a large skillet, heat 1-2 inches of avocado oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil—it should sizzle immediately. Carefully add a few wontons at a time into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the fried wontons to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. 🍳🟡
4️⃣ Make the Sesame Ginger Soy Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together tamari or soy sauce, rice vinegar, hot chili oil, grated ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions or chives. This sauce adds a savory, umami-packed flavor to your zucchini breadsticks. 🍶🍚🌶️🫚🧄🌰🌱
5️⃣ Make the Sweet Chili Mango Sauce: In another small bowl, mix together sweet Thai chili sauce, ketchup, and diced mango. This sweet and tangy sauce provides a refreshing contrast to the savory breadsticks. 🌶️🍅🥭
6️⃣ Serve: Serve the zucchini breadsticks warm, with the Sesame Ginger Soy Sauce and Sweet Chili Mango Sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling. Enjoy this crispy, cheesy, and flavorful treat! 🍽️
