Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Shred the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor and squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Making the Crust

Baking
  1. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into a thin, even rectangle and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  2. Remove from the oven, sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella evenly on top, and return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Let cool slightly before slicing into breadsticks. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm with marinara or ranch dipping sauce.

Notes

Let the breadsticks cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be frozen for up to a month and reheated in the oven.
