Ingredients
For the breadsticks
- 2 zucchini shredded (once dried out this is about 4 cups)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs if extra large is all you have reduce to 1
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
For the topping
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- red pepper flakes and basil optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
- Shred the zucchini and place in a sturdy dish towel. Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the zucchini. When you feel like you've gotten as much as you can out unroll the towel and allow it to rest for several minutes then try again. Do not skip the second step, the zucchini needs to be extremely dry.
- Transfer the dry zucchini to a mixing bowl and combine with the garlic, spices, eggs and cheese.
- Place the dough on a greased or silicone lined baking sheet and spread into a rectangle. **Do not pat too thin, or it will be more like a thin crust pizza than breadsticks**
- Bake for 20-22 minutes until the breadsticks have browned slightly and dried out.
- Remove from the oven and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 5-7 more minutes until melted and bubbly.
- Cut into 12 strips.
