Keto Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks
Ingredients
- 4 cups Zucchini
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- Salt and Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 2 tbsp Almond Flour
- 1 cup Topping: shredded Mozzarella or any keto-friendly cheese blend
Directions
- 1
Start by grating your zucchini using a box grater. Place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensure your breadsticks are crispy and not soggy.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and almond flour (if using). Mix everything until well combined. This mixture forms the doughy base for your breadsticks.
- 3
Spread the zucchini mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press it into a thin, even layer, about 1/2 inch thick, forming a rectangular or oval shape.
- 4
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes or until the edges become golden and crispy. This ensures the breadstick base is firm and holds together.
- 5
Remove from the oven, sprinkle your shredded cheese topping over the baked zucchini base, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
- 6
Let it cool for a minute, then slice it into breadstick-sized pieces. Serve warm with your favorite keto dipping sauce like marinara, ranch, or garlic butter.
