Keto Zucchini Breadsticks makes a perfect appetizer or a side dish for a low carb, healthy and grain-free meal that is ready in 30 minutes.
In the last months, I’ve made a few recipes with zucchini. One reason is that my garden gave much zucchini. I think that they grow on like weeds and I love their taste. And the other reason is that I can make many and creative delicious dishes with zucchini, from appetizers (or snacks), main dishes to desserts.
This is the reason why there is a serious obsession going on here with zucchini.
If you are in a Ketogenic diet I have to tell that maybe zucchini will become your best friend.
Today IĀ“m going to share with you another creative way to cook zucchini: Keto Zucchini Breadsticks. This recipe is my version of zucchini breadsticks. This is a simple and easy to make recipe.
To make these keto zucchini breadsticks you will need:
zucchini
bacon
eggs
mozzarella cheese
garlic cloves
oregano
cornstarch or almond flour
red bell pepper
parsley
These zucchini breadsticks are amazing. The crust doesn’t get completely crispy on the inside, but the outsides are really crispy.
And the most amazing is that the kids will eat these cheesy breadsticks with no complaining. My kids love them because they say that these breadsticks taste like pizza. This is totally true! The bacon gives these breadsticks a taste just like pizza!!
When making low carb dishes with zucchini, especially baking dishes such as pizza and bread, itās important to squeeze the moisture out of the zucchini. Otherwise, your dish will be watery and might not hold together.
