Preparation

Step 1

In a shallow dish stir together the Parmesan Cheese, Italian Seasoning, and crushed red pepper. Brush breadsticks with butter. Roll each breadstick in the cheese mixture to coat.

For a charcoal grill, grill breadsticks on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden, turning to brown evenly. For a gas grill, preheat grill, reduce heat to medium. Place breadsticks on grill rack over heat. Grill as above. Serve warm.


Variation

Grilled Greek Breadsticks: Prepare as above, except use grated Romano Cheese in place of the Parmesan, use Mediterranean seasoning in place of Italian Seasoning, omit the crushed red pepper and add 1/2 tsp finely shredded lemon peel to the cheese mixture.
