Notes

Store breadsticks in a resealable bag for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

To reheat, wrap a few breadsticks in aluminum foil then heat in a 300F oven for 8-10 minutes to warm them. You can remove them from the foil for the last couple of minutes if you want a little crispness around the edges of the breadsticks.

You can also reheat these in the microwave, but just for 15-20 seconds to warm and soften them up a bit. Heat for too long and they'll become tough in the microwave.
