Description
Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks are an easy, low-carb recipe loaded with cheesy goodness and fresh zucchini. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish, this gluten-free twist on traditional breadsticks is baked to golden perfection and great for dipping in marinara sauce or enjoyed on its own!
Ingredients
4 cups grated zucchini, squeezed dry
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
⅓ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 tsp garlic parsley salt
1 cup shredded cheese for topping (mozzarella or Mexican blend)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C).
Use a clean kitchen towel to tightly wring out the grated zucchini, removing as much excess liquid as you can.
In a bowl, stir together zucchini, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, and garlic parsley salt until well blended.
Evenly distribute the mixture onto a lined baking sheet in a half-inch layer to ensure a crisp, golden base.
Bake for 15 minutes until set.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with your topping cheese, and bake another 2–5 minutes until melted and golden-brown.
Let cool slightly, slice into breadsticks, and serve while warm.
Notes
Squeezing zucchini dry is key for a crispy texture.
Add almond flour for extra structure if desired.
Reheat in oven or air fryer for best crispiness.
Pairs perfectly with marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli.
