How to Make Baked Cheese Sticks

After you boil your broccoli to soften it, you’re going to add your broccoli to a food processor until smooth.

Then add the rest of the ingredients into a bowl with the broccoli, mixing until it’s all combined. Pour the mixture onto a pan lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup, shaping it into a 8×11 rectangle shape.

With your oven at 400 degrees, bake for 15 minutes. And then you’ll want to flip over the sticks and bake for a additoinal 20 minutes.

Remove from oven and allow to cool because they’re pretty hot right now. Cut into 16 sticks and serve.
