Cheesy Zucchini Dipper Sticks

Ingredients

4 cups zucchini, grated (3 small-medium zucchinis)

2/3 cup white whole wheat flour

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 + 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon basil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

MARINARA DIPPING SAUCE

2 cups (or 1 14- or 16-ounce can) crushed tomatoes

1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon basil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Serves: 4 (about 5 sticks)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place grated zucchini in a colander, and press out as much moisture as possible.

Stir together zucchini, flour, beaten eggs, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and seasonings. Then transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet and pat down to spread evenly.

Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. During this time, prep marinara sauce.

Sprinkle with 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese and bake until cheese is melted, about 3-5 minutes.

Allow to cool slightly and then use a pizza cutter to slice into strips. Serve with marinara dipping sauce.
