Ingredients
6 slices 100% whole wheat bread
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions
Preheat your oven to 300°F.
Place the whole wheat bread slices on a clean work surface. Using approximately 1 teaspoon of olive oil per slice, lightly brush or spread the oil evenly over the top surface of each bread slice.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this herb mixture evenly over all the oil-coated bread slices, distributing it as uniformly as possible.
Using a sharp knife, cut each bread slice into 3 equal strips, creating long breadstick shapes. Arrange the strips in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, until the bread sticks are crispy, golden brown, and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at every Charlotte chain—whole wheat bread from the bakery section, olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning are all $5 or less combined, making the cost per serving around $0.50. The stated 35 minutes is honest for slicing, brushing, and baking, with no hidden prep. This is a true side dish that reheats perfectly in a 300-degree oven and suits any weeknight family meal without fussy technique or constant attention. The only caveat is that homemade garlic bread sticks this simple depend entirely on the quality of your starting bread—a day-old loaf from the bread aisle works fine, but a truly good bakery loaf from Harris Teeter or Food Lion's in-house bakery will elevate the result noticeably.
