Hello, food enthusiasts! Today, I’m thrilled to share a delightful recipe that’s both comforting and delicious. Let’s dive into making some Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks that will surely become a family favorite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
For those with dietary restrictions, you can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour or almond flour. If you’re lactose intolerant, try using dairy-free cheese alternatives.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten eggs, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly to form a rectangular shape, about 1/2-inch thick.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are crispy.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once baked, let it cool slightly before cutting into breadstick shapes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini to avoid soggy breadsticks.
- If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
