Ingredients
- 2 cups Zucchini, shredded
- 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Dried Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (for topping)
- 1 tsp Fresh Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for a hint of heat
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Shred the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a kitchen towel.
- In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, egg, 1/2 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt; mix until uniform.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the zucchini mixture, patting it down into a rectangle or oval about 1/2-inch thick.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until firm and golden brown at the edges.
- Remove and sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella on top, then return to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes until melted and bubbly.
- Optionally, broil for 1 to 2 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, slice into sticks, garnish with parsley, and serve warm with low-carb marinara sauce.
Notes
Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the zucchini as possible to prevent sogginess. You can add spices or other cheese types for added flavor.
