Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups Grated Zucchini
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Garlic Parsley Salt

Topping

  • 1 cup Grated Cheese of Choice (e.g., Mozzarella or Mexican cheese)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the zucchini: Squeeze all the excess juice out of the grated zucchini thoroughly. Removing as much moisture as possible is key to achieving a crisp breadstick crust.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, and garlic parsley salt. Stir everything together until well incorporated.
  3. Form the crust and bake: Line a baking dish with parchment paper and spread the zucchini mixture out evenly in a thin layer approximately half an inch thick. Bake in an oven preheated to 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes until the bottom becomes crisp.
  4. Add topping and finish baking: Remove the baked crust from the oven and sprinkle your choice of grated cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 2 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  5. Slice and serve: Once done, slice the cheesy zucchini loaf into breadstick-sized pieces and serve hot for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini to prevent sogginess.
  • You can swap the topping cheese with any favorite melting cheese like cheddar, Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend.
  • This recipe works well as a gluten-free appetizer or snack option.
  • For a crispier texture, bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet rather than a dish.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the breadsticks warm and melty.
