Deliciously cheesy, yet healthy snack made with zucchini and cheese, perfect for gatherings or as a standalone snack.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup of all-purpose flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free option)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 medium zucchini (about 1 cup grated)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
Fresh herbs (like basil or parsley) for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the zucchini: Wash the zucchini thoroughly, then grate it using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk them together.
Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and olive oil, then add the grated zucchini.
Incorporate the mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together.
Add cheese: Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning.
Shape the breadsticks: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, transfer the dough onto the sheet, and shape it into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Score the dough into breadstick shapes.
Top with cheese: Sprinkle reserved mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the shaped dough.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool and serve: Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, then cut and serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
