Recipe Zucchini Bread Sticks

Zucchini Breadsticks are a delicious alternative to traditional breadsticks, made with zucchini and topped with cheese and Italian seasoning. I already have many recipes to use up zucchini, from sweet to savory. These savory and cheesy breadsticks may be one of my favorites! It’s an easy recipe to make and when cut up into breadsticks are perfect to dip in a side of marinara sauce. Try my Parmesan Zucchini Corn for another delicious side dish to use up all that summer zucchini.

Zucchini : Look for 2 large zucchini to use in this recipe. To grate the zucchini, don’t peel it or take out the seeds. Just rinse the zucchini in cool or lukewarm water, cut off one of the ends, and simply grate it. Then, remove any excess moisture from the grated zucchini. Gently wrap the zucchini in a paper towel (or a clean dish towel) to dry it out a bit. Wrap it up in a paper towel again if there is remaining moisture. For the best results, you want to drain the zucchini as much as possible. You will need about 4 cups of grated zucchini.

Cheese: Three kinds of cheese are used in the breadsticks. After all, they are cheesy in the most delicious way! I used white cheddar in the zucchini mixture with mozzarella and parmesan cheese for the topping.

Marinara Sauce : Although delicious without it, dipping the breadsticks into marinara sauce adds an additional burst of flavor to each bite!

The most challenging part of this recipe is flipping over the rectangular sheet of the zucchini mixture. There are a couple of options for flipping. I prefer the second baking sheet method:

If you don’t have a second baking sheet, you could also use two spatulas to carefully flip the sheet of the zucchini mixture onto the same sheet. Then, top with the mozzarella, parmesan, and Italian seasoning before putting it back in the oven to finish baking.

If you have leftover breadsticks, let them come to room temperature before storing them. Then, keep the breadsticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, I recommend heating them up in the oven for 10 minutes or so, until warmed through. Or, place the breadsticks under the broiler for a few minutes, watching them carefully so they don’t burn.This delicious recipe for Zucchini Breadsticks will rock your world! Fresh grated zucchini and cheese make a simple batter that bakes up into the perfect cheesy partner for any dipping sauce.

Do you love breadsticks? I know I do, especially with a tangy marinara. And, how about zucchini fritters?Well, if you combined those two tasty sides, you’d get a fantastic recipe like this one! Tender, mild zucchini are shredded up and carefully patted dry, to make a light, gluten-free base for our cheesy breadsticks. And, for my keto and gluten-free peeps, this recipe is low carb and keto-friendly! From there, it’s all about cheese, and a little bit of egg to keep it all together. Bake, slice, and you’ve got one delicious appetizer to dunk in some marinara goodness.

If you’ve ever made zucchini bread, this is sort of like that! It’s really easy to pull together and bake, especially if you use parchment to avoid sticking.
