Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks
Description
Grated zucchini is thoroughly drained to remove excess moisture before mixing with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, an egg binding agent, and garlic parsley salt for seasoning. The mixture is spread in a thin layer on a lined baking dish to ensure a crisp texture on the bottom. The initial bake at 425°F firms the base, after which additional cheese is layered on top and melted to a golden finish. This two-stage baking process results in breadsticks with crispy edges and a soft, cheesy interior.
These breadsticks make a flavorful side dish or snack with a subtle garlic-herb note. Serving them hot preserves their melted cheese texture. The recipe's use of zucchini adds a mild vegetable element that complements the cheeses.

- 4 cup zucchini grated
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp garlic parsley salt
- 1 cup cheese topping, grated, of choice
Instructions
- Squeeze all of the juices you can, out of the grated zucchini. See tips above on getting all the liquid out.
- In a bowl, combine together grated zucchini, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg and garlic salt. Stir to combine everything together.
- On a lined baking dish, spread out the zucchini mixture. It's best to lay out the mixture in a thin layer, about half an inch in thickness so that the bottom can crisp up. Bake at 425F for 15 minutes.
- Top baked crust with your choice of cheese. I like to use mozzarella or Mexican cheese. Bake a second time for 2-5 minutes, just until the cheese melts and gets golden brown.
- Slice and serve while it's still hot.
