Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated and excess moisture squeezed out

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour if desired)

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to avoid soggy breadsticks.

      Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything until well-combined; the mixture should be thick but hold together.

        Shape the Breadsticks: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Make sure to smooth out the top with a spatula or spoon.

          Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is cooked through.

            Cut and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the breadsticks to cool for about 5 minutes. Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice the baked zucchini mixture into stick shapes. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.

              Enjoy: Serve the cheesy zucchini breadsticks warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
