CHEESY ZUCCHINI BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°F Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. (Actually I use parchment paper or a silpat)
• 2. Squeeze zucchini dry. (NOTE: I normally shred and freeze huge quantities of zucchini during the summer, so a LOT of water can get squeezed out upon thawing. The 1-1/2 cup is a relative amount, since it can be compressed like a diamond if I'm not careful. My 1-1/2 cup is fluffed up, and I really just use whatever I was able to shove into one quart bag during the harvest season.)
• 3. The frozen coconut comes from the frozen fruit section of the grocery store. It says "sweetened," but it does not taste sweet to me. I use one whole package, which is 6 oz, which is about 1 cup, fluffed. You could probably use dried if you want.
• 4. Whisk eggs, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add zucchini, coconut, cheese and flour; stir to combine. Then add flax meal and flour last. (NOTE: I only added the extra egg yolks saved from a granola recipe that only called for whites. You could omit if you want.)
• 5. Spread the mixture into an approximately 8-by-10-inch rectangle on a baking sheet, ideally lined with parchment paper or a sil-pat. Bake until golden brown on top and bottom, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before cutting into 16 rectangles. Serve with marinara sauce or guacamole, if desired.

CHEESY BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• In food processor, combine the flour, salt, cayenne and baking powder.
• Pulse several times to mix.
• Add the butter and cheese, then pulse for about 30 seconds, or until the ingredients are well mixed (it should resemble slightly moist flour).
• Add the sour cream and pulse on and off for about 1 minute, or until the ingredients come together as a moist, doughy clump.
• Remove the dough from the food processor, form into a ball, then cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or coat it with cooking spray.
• On a lightly floured counter, roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 1/8-inch thick.
• Trim the edges to create a neat rectangle.
• Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips 6 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide.
• Combine the scraps and repeat with remaining dough to make about 18-24 sticks.
• Gently twist each strip to create a spiral, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned.
