Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rectangular baking dish with parchment paper.
Prepare the zucchini:
  1. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or fine mesh strainer and squeeze out any excess liquid. This helps the breadsticks stay firm and not soggy.
Mix the base:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, egg, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Shape the breadsticks:
  1. Press the zucchini mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a flat, compact layer.
First bake:
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Add the topping:
  1. Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Second bake:
  1. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
Slice and serve:
  1. Let the zucchini breadsticks cool slightly, then cut into sticks and serve warm.
  2. Enjoy!
