Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by shredding approximately 600g of zucchini using a box grater or food processor. In a large bowl, sprinkle the shredded zucchini with fine sea salt and toss well, allowing it to sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- Afterward, take a clean kitchen towel and wring out the zucchini until it is very dry; this step is crucial for a crisp base.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dried zucchini with large eggs, garlic powder, and ½ cup of parmesan cheese, stirring until well incorporated.
- Line a baking sheet with brown parchment paper, then spread the zucchini mixture into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and crispy.
- Once the zucchini base is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and sprinkle it generously with 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella, along with the reserved ¼ cup of parmesan cheese and a dash of dried oregano.
- Switch your oven setting to broil, and return the tray to the oven, broiling for 3-5 minutes.
- After broiling, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks cool for about 5 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the breadsticks into desired shapes.
- Transfer the sliced Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks to a serving platter.

Notes
Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the shredded zucchini to avoid a soggy base. Allow the breadsticks to rest for 5 minutes after baking to help them retain their shape when slicing.
