• You can adjust the amount of garlic powder and Parmesan cheese according to your taste preference.
• For a softer crust, brush the breadsticks with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven.

Storage and Serving

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the breadsticks in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
• Serve the breadsticks as an appetizer with marinara sauce for dipping, or as a side dish with pasta or soup.
