Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing the pan
- Optional: fresh herbs (like parsley or basil) for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Take your grated zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Combine the grated zucchini with almond flour, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Spread the zucchini mixture evenly onto the baking sheet, shaping it into a rectangle or square about half an inch thick.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center feels firm.
- Cool the breadstick base for a few minutes, then slice it into stick shapes with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Optional: Place the cut breadsticks back in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to crisp them up.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs, and enjoy with your favorite low-carb dip or marinara sauce.
Notes
Ensure to squeeze excess moisture from the zucchini to avoid soggy breadsticks. You can modify the recipe by swapping mozzarella for dairy-free alternatives or using flax eggs for a vegan option.
