Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 2 medium zucchinis About 2 cups shredded
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the topping
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Shred the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Making the crust
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded zucchini, eggs, ½ cup mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Baking
  1. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it into a thin, even rectangle.
  2. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Adding cheese topping
  1. Remove from the oven and sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella evenly on top.
  2. Return to the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Let it cool slightly before slicing into breadsticks. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve with marinara or ranch dipping sauce.

Notes

Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the zucchini as possible for a crispier texture. You can customize this dish by adding cooked bacon, pepperoni, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or olives.
