Ingredients Needed

For these WW Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks, you’ll need:

• Grated zucchini
• Part-skim mozzarella cheese
• Grated Parmesan cheese
• Egg
• Garlic parsley salt
• Reduced-fat cheese of choice for the topping

How to Make WW Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks

1. Prepare the zucchini: Grate your zucchini and squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure your breadsticks turn out crisp and firm.
2. Mix ingredients: Combine the grated zucchini, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, and garlic parsley salt in a bowl. This mixture forms your "dough."
3. Bake the base: Spread the zucchini mixture onto a baking sheet in a thin layer and bake until it becomes slightly golden and crispy.
4. Add cheese topping: Once the base is baked, top it with reduced-fat cheese of your choice (I love using a mix of mozzarella and Mexican blend). Return to the oven for a few more minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden.
5. Slice and serve: Once baked, slice the zucchini breadsticks and serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara or ranch.

Storage & Serving Suggestions

• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven or toaster oven for a few minutes until crispy again.
• Serving Suggestions: WW Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks are delicious on their own but even better with a dipping sauce! Pair them with marinara sauce, pesto, or a light ranch dip. They also make a perfect side dish for soup or salad.

Tips & FAQs

How do I get my zucchini breadsticks crispy?

The key is removing as much water from the grated zucchini as possible. After grating, use a kitchen towel to wring out excess moisture. The drier the zucchini, the crispier the breadsticks will be!

Can I use a different cheese for the topping?

Absolutely! You can use any reduced-fat cheese you like. Mozzarella works great, but feel free to experiment with other cheeses like cheddar or a Mexican blend. Just keep in mind that the type of cheese may affect the WW points.

Can I freeze these breadsticks?

Yes, you can! Once baked and cooled, freeze the breadsticks in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. To reheat, bake them at 400°F until heated through and crispy.

Are these breadsticks keto-friendly?

Yes! These zucchini breadsticks are naturally low in carbs and high in fat, making them an excellent option for keto dieters. Just be mindful of the cheese you choose to ensure it fits your macros.

Can I make this recipe egg-free?

If you’re looking to make this recipe without eggs, you can try substituting the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) or a vegan egg replacer. This will help bind the mixture together without the use of eggs.
