  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese You can omit it if you prefer a lighter option.

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Small bowl
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough carefully and cut it into 8 triangular pieces. Arrange the cut triangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming a rectangle.
  3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until well-blended.
  4. Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, evenly brush the prepared butter mixture over the arranged dough. Then, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly on top.
  5. Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake the Cheesy Breadsticks for about 12-15 minutes.
  6. Once baked, remove the Cheesy Breadsticks from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Cut them into strips or serve them whole, and offer them warm alongside a bowl of marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Use parchment paper for a crispier texture and easy cleanup. Consider adding cooked bacon bits, jalapeños, or fresh herbs to the topping for extra flavor. Keep a close eye on your breadsticks while baking to prevent over-browning.
