Easy Sheet Pan Breadsticks are a delicious and convenient snack that can be prepared in no time. They are perfect for a quick after-school treat, a game-day snack, or even as a side dish for a family dinner. The best part is that they are incredibly easy to make, requiring only a few ingredients and minimal effort. By cooking them on a sheet pan, you can achieve that crispy, golden-brown crust that's hard to resist.
Here is the complete recipe for Easy Sheet Pan Breadsticks:
Ingredients:
* 1 package of refrigerated pizza dough (homemade dough can also be used)
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
* 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* Salt, to taste
* Optional: chopped fresh parsley or basil leaves for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Roll out the pizza dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (6 mm). Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces, or about 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide strips.
3. Place the dough strips onto the prepared sheet pan, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each stick.
4. Drizzle the olive oil over the breadsticks and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and both mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
5. Season with salt to taste, then toss the breadsticks gently to evenly distribute the toppings.
6. Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Remove the breadsticks from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the sheet pan.
8. Transfer the breadsticks to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, garnish with chopped parsley or basil leaves.
Tips:
* To achieve that perfect crispy crust, make sure to not overcrowd the sheet pan. Cook the breadsticks in batches if necessary.
* For an extra crispy coating, sprinkle a pinch of cornmeal or breadcrumbs over the breadsticks before baking.
* Try using different seasonings or herbs, such as dried oregano, thyme, or rosemary, to give the breadsticks a unique flavor.
Other versions:
* Buffalo-style breadsticks: Add 1-2 tablespoons of hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot) to the dough before rolling it out.
* Garlic cheese breadsticks: Mix 1-2 cloves of minced garlic into the dough before rolling it out.
* Herb and cheese breadsticks: Add 1-2 tablespoons of dried parsley and 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese to the dough before rolling it out.
* Cinnamon sugar breadsticks: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon over the breadsticks before baking.
