Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour (or regular flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 medium zucchini, grated and excess moisture squeezed out
1 large egg
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Fresh herbs (optional, such as basil or oregano)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor and squeeze out any excess moisture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the grated zucchini, egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, and olive oil.
Stir in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and any fresh herbs if using.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm.
Allow the breadsticks to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing them into sticks.
