Vegan Parmesan Breadsticks

Step 1

Make the parmesan spread: Add all the ingredients to a small food processor and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Cover and set this aside while you prep the dough.

Step 2

Prep the pizza dough: Lightly flour the outside of your defrosted pizza dough, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and preheat your oven to 450F. Use your hands to press the pizza dough into the baking sheet, creating a circle or oval shape about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Assemble: Use a rubber spatula to spread a generous amount of parmesan spread all over the top of the pizza dough. Depending on how much you use, the spread should make about 2 batches of breadsticks. Leftover spread can also be added to pasta and soups for a cheesy garlic flavor boost!

Step 4

Bake: Sprinkle a pinch of ground black pepper on top of the parmesan spread and bake for 10-12 minutes, stopping to rotate the baking sheet once halfway through.

Step 5

Slice and serve: Carefully transfer to a large cutting board and use a pizza cutter or large knife to slice the circle into 1-inch sticks. We then cut these sticks in half lengthwise. Serve immediately with a side of marinara sauce and enjoy!
