Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line an 11x17-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rinse the zucchini under water. Trim off one of the ends of the zucchini and shred it on a grater.
- Remove excess water from the grated zucchini by wrapping it in a cheesecloth or paper towel and tightly squeezing. You want to make sure to get as much moisture out of the zucchini as you can.
- Add the drained zucchini to a large mixing bowl.
- To the bowl with the grated zucchini, add the grated and drained onions, garlic, white cheddar cheese, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Using a spatula, spread the zucchini mixture out onto the lined baking sheet in an even layer. The layer will be very thin (no more than ½-inch thick). If it is too thick, it will take longer to bake and get too crispy.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 425°F.
- Flip the zucchini breadsticks over. To flip, first, use a spatula to loosen up the edges. Place another piece of parchment paper over the top of the zucchini mixture and top with another 11x17-inch pan. Using hot pads, hold the edges of the pans together tightly and carefully flip over the zucchini. (You could also use a couple of spatulas to carefully flip over the breadsticks onto the same baking sheet.)
- Top the breadsticks with shredded mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy.
- Cut the bread into strips and garnish with parsley. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
