Ingredients
1 ½ cups shredded zucchini
2 large eggs
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Shred zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine zucchini, eggs, ½ cup mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4. Spread the mixture into a ½-inch thick rectangle on the parchment-lined sheet.
5. Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until set and golden around the edges.
6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup mozzarella evenly on top.
7. Broil for 2–4 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
8. Let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with parsley (if using), slice, and serve warm with your favorite dip.
Notes
Always squeeze out zucchini moisture well—it’s the secret to non-soggy breadsticks.
Customize the cheese with Monterey Jack or Italian blends for variety.
To reheat, use an oven or toaster oven for best texture.
