Ingredients
refrigerated breadstick dough
1 (10 5/8 ounce) package (unrolled and divided along perforations)
egg
1 (beaten)
parmesan cheese
1/4 cup (grated)
garlic powder
to taste (optional, for seasoning)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or leaving it ungreased.
2
Unroll the refrigerated breadstick dough and carefully separate it along the perforations to create individual breadsticks.
3
For each broomstick, take one breadstick and stretch it gently into a strip measuring approximately 8 inches long and 1.5 inches wide. Twist one end of the strip to form the handle.
4
At the opposite end, cut 5 or 6 slits about 2 inches deep, making sure to leave the base intact. Gently separate the strands at the cuts to resemble the bristles of a broom.
5
Place the shaped broomsticks onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6
Brush the beaten egg evenly over each broomstick to give them a beautiful golden color as they bake.
7
Generously sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the bristles of the broomsticks, adding garlic powder on top for an extra layer of flavor if desired.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown and cooked through.
9
Allow the broomsticks to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy them warm!
