Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
1 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Extra shredded mozzarella cheese for topping (optional)
Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Add the egg to the dry mixture and stir to combine, then fold in the zucchini and mozzarella cheese.
Transfer the mixture to the baking sheet and shape into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
If desired, sprinkle extra mozzarella cheese on top and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until bubbly.
Let cool for a few minutes, then cut into sticks and serve warm.
