The trick to achieving delicious Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks is making sure you bake the base crust long enough.

It should be nice and brown on the sides – when you think it’s done, give it at least a few more minutes. Don’t be scared of it burning! Nothing is worse than zucchini mush.

I will warn you that you may have to exert extreme self control not to eat the entire pan yourself in one sitting.

Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

3 cups shredded zucchini (about 3 medium)
3 eggs
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded mozzarella (or any) cheese
Italian seasoning

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Sprinkle the shredded zucchini with salt to release some of its moisture. Let sit 10-15 minutes, then squeeze zucchini in a clean cheese towel to release most or all of the liquid.
Mix zucchini, eggs and flour in a medium bowl. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and spread the zucchini mixture into a large thin rectangle.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until the edges are nicely brown. Make sure it's nice and golden on the sides and top so the crust isn't mushy.
Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F, sprinkle the crust with cheese and Italian seasoning, and continue baking until the cheese is just melted.
Let cool a few minutes, then cut into sticks. Serve with marinara or ranch or garlic butter or any sauce your heart desires.
