These Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks are a delicious and healthy appetizer or side dish, combining the fresh flavor of zucchini with the richness of mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Baked to perfection with a crispy crust and gooey melted cheese topping, they make a perfect snack or accompaniment to any meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups Grated Zucchini
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Garlic Parsley Salt

Topping

  • 1 cup Grated Cheese of Choice (mozzarella or Mexican cheese recommended)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Zucchini: Squeeze out all the juices from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to remove excess moisture. This step ensures the breadsticks will be firm and not soggy.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the grated zucchini, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, and garlic parsley salt until thoroughly combined into a uniform mixture.
  3. Form the Crust: Line a baking dish with parchment paper and spread the zucchini mixture evenly in a thin layer about half an inch thick to allow the bottom to crisp properly during baking.
  4. Bake the Base: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the zucchini mixture for 15 minutes until it sets and the edges begin to brown.
  5. Add Cheese Topping: Remove the partially baked crust from the oven, sprinkle with your choice of grated cheese (mozzarella or Mexican cheese work well), then return to the oven for an additional 2 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts and develops a golden-brown color.
  6. Slice and Serve: Once baked, slice into breadstick-sized pieces and serve hot for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini to prevent sogginess.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  • You can customize the cheese topping to your preference for different flavor profiles.
  • Serve warm to enjoy the melted cheese and crispy texture.
