Cheesy Olive Oil Breadsticks (Crispy, Golden & Perfect for Dipping!)
Share
Some recipes just feel like gathering — and these Cheesy Olive Oil Breadsticks are one of them. Warm, golden, and crisp on the outside with just the right amount of soft chew inside, they’re the kind of snack that disappears the second you bring them to the table.
Made with our Garlic Olive Oil (or any of your favorite oils from the shop), these breadsticks bake up with incredible flavor and a rich, fragrant aroma. A sprinkle of parmesan gives them that irresistible salty crunch, and they pair beautifully with everything from marinara to hummus to our balsamics for dipping.
They’re simple enough for a cozy weeknight but elegant enough for a holiday appetizer board. And if you’re hosting this season, consider making a double batch — your guests will ask for more.
Serve them warm with little bowls of Tuscan Herb Olive Oil, Garlic Olive Oil, or a splash of Traditional Balsamic… and watch them disappear.
