Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

How to Store

Store leftover garlic parmesan breadsticks in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

How to Reheat

Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 325°F to 350°F until warm. Brush with a little extra garlic butter after reheating if desired.

Can You Freeze Them?

Yes. Freeze baked breadsticks without extra dipping sauce for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven until warm, then brush with garlic butter and add parmesan.

Best Make-Ahead Tip

You can make the dough ahead and refrigerate it after the first rise. Let it come closer to room temperature before shaping and baking.
