Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis (about 2 cups shredded)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese for topping
• Optional fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

1

Set your oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Grate the zucchinis using either a standard box grater or a food processor attachment. Transfer the shredded zucchini to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze thoroughly to extract all excess liquid—this moisture removal prevents soggy results.

2

In a large bowl, whisk together the squeezed zucchini, eggs, 1/2 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until fully blended.

3

Transfer the mixture onto your prepared tray and press it into a uniform, thin rectangular layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the crust turns golden and feels set.

4

Carefully pull the tray out of the oven, scatter the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella evenly across the top, and return it to bake for another 5 to 7 minutes until bubbly and fully melted.

5

Allow the cheesy bread to cool for a few minutes before cutting it into individual stick shapes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs if desired and enjoy with warm marinara or creamy ranch.
