Gluten Free Broccoli Breadsticks

Gluten-Free Broccoli Breadsticks

These simple broccoli breadsticks are made with a boxed pizza mix, making these easy to throw together for snacks, meals, or even as a party appetizer! I love serving them with marinara sauce or pesto, and they freeze well for packable, on-the-go snacking and lunch box meals!

Yes, these broccoli breadsticks aren’t completely homemade, from scratch. But that doesn’t make them any less delicious or nutritious – and, they’re easy!

By using a pizza dough box mix from Simple Mills, the breadstick making process is easier and I love Simple Mills – all of their products use real ingredients you can pronounce and every product I’ve ever tried of theirs, I’ve loved.

Breadsticks are fun to make as a party appetizer (you can cut them into mini breadstick shapes or thicker ones), but they work well as a meal, too – I like to serve them to my kids with some chicken sausage, marinara for dipping, and a cheesestick or another veggie, like steamed string beans.

The seasonings I’ve added to the mix make these taste like fluffy, oven-baked thick slices of pizza dough crust, basically – but they’re cut in fun, breadstick-like shapes. As an adult, I love them with some grilled sausage and a side Caesar salad – seriously, it’s a nostalgic, filling, and nutrient-packed meal!

No matter how you serve up these breadsticks (in a lunchbox or an a platter at a party), you’re going to love them – especially how easy they are!

  • Why frozen over fresh broccoli??
    • Whatever is more convenient for you works!
  • Can you be more specific on size of rectangle please and how to cut . For example should they be strips the full width of the rectangle or with a diagonal cut. Thanks.
