  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis (about 2 cups shredded)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
  • Optional: fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare zucchini: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shred the zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a towel or cheesecloth.
  2. Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine zucchini, eggs, 1/2 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Shape and bake: Spread mixture onto the baking sheet into a thin rectangle. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and firm.
  4. Add topping: Remove from oven, sprinkle remaining mozzarella, and return for 5–7 minutes until melted and bubbly.
  5. Serve: Cool slightly, slice into breadsticks, garnish if desired, and serve with marinara or ranch.

Notes

  • Be sure to remove as much moisture from zucchini as possible to avoid soggy breadsticks.
  • You can add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven for best texture.
