Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated and thoroughly drained

1 cup all-purpose flour (or substitute with 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 extra virgin olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). For easier cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or a food processor. Transfer the grated zucchini to a clean kitchen towel, gather the ends, and twist to wring out as much moisture as possible. This step is essential to ensure your breadsticks aren’t soggy.

      Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir well to break up any lumps.

        Incorporate the Cheese: Add the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese to the dry mixture. Fold gently to ensure that the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

          Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and olive oil until well blended. Add the drained zucchini into the egg mixture, and stir until everything is nicely combined.

            Combine All Mixtures: Gently fold the egg and zucchini mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s perfectly fine if a few lumps remain.

              Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough to the lined baking sheet. Using a spatula or your hands, spread the mixture into an even rectangle approximately 1/2 inch thick. Avoid making it too thick, or it won’t bake properly.

                Bake: Place the baking sheet 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 the sheet from the oven and let the breadsticks cool for a few minutes. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, slice the baked dough into sticks. Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley, along with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

                    Enjoy: Indulge in these delightfully cheesy and flavorful zucchini breadsticks that make for an excellent appetizer, snack, or a fun treat for any gathering!
