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

Scale

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.
