To create the perfect Zucchini Cheesy Breadsticks, the first step is to mix cheese into your flour mixture. Use a combination of shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese for a delightful blend of flavors. Begin by adding the cheese to the flour, baking powder, and any spices you’ve chosen (like garlic powder or Italian seasoning). The key here is to ensure that each piece of cheese is evenly coated with the flour mixture before proceeding. This step not only enhances the flavor but also helps the cheese distribute evenly throughout the dough during baking, preventing clumping.

Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated and drained

1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 large eggs

1/4 cup olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and twist to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to avoid soggy breadsticks.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

        Add Cheese: Stir in both the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese to the flour mixture. This will create a cheesy base for your breadsticks.

          Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and olive oil together. Add the drained zucchini to the egg mixture and stir until well combined.

            Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg and zucchini mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

              Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough onto the lined baking sheet. Using a spatula or your hands, spread the mixture into an even rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick. The dough should not be too thick, as it won’t cook through properly.

                Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Slice and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice into breadsticks. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley and alongside marinara sauce for dipping.

                    Enjoy: Dig into these deliciously cheesy and flavorful zucchini breadsticks that are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or party treat!
