Ingredients
Scale
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 (such as mozzarella or Mexican blend cheese)
Instructions
- Prepare Zucchini: Squeeze all the excess juices out of the grated zucchini thoroughly to ensure the mixture is not too wet. This helps achieve a crispier crust when baked.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, and garlic parsley salt. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form and Bake Crust: Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Spread the zucchini mixture evenly in a thin layer (about half an inch thick) on the dish to allow the bottom to crisp up. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes.
- Add Cheese Topping: Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle your choice of grated cheese evenly over the baked zucchini crust. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 2-5 minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
- Slice and Serve: Once baked, slice the zucchini breadsticks into desired portions and serve hot for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini to prevent soggy breadsticks.
- You can use different types of cheese for topping depending on your preference, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or a Mexican cheese blend.
- If preferred, add additional herbs like basil or oregano to enhance flavor.
- Serve with marinara sauce or your favorite dip for an extra tasty treat.
