These spicy breadsticks are one of my favorite quick snacks to make when I'm craving something crispy and flavorful. Starting with store bought pizza dough keeps things simple and saves you tons of time, getting you from kitchen to table in just 40 minutes. I load them up with garlic, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika for a real kick, and the garlic actually has some wonderful anti inflammatory properties that make these feel a bit healthier too. They're perfect for serving alongside soup or pasta, or just snacking on straight from the oven. Trust me, once you try them you'll be making these constantly.

Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Tip: A hot oven ensures crispy edges on your breadsticks.
- 2
Mix the minced garlic with olive oil in a small bowl and let it sit for a few minutes to infuse the flavors together.
Tip: This develops deeper garlic flavor without burning it during baking.
- 3
In another bowl combine the cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, sea salt, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
Tip: Mixing your spices first ensures even distribution throughout the breadsticks.
- 4
Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 25 by 35 centimeters.
Tip: If the dough springs back, let it rest for 5 minutes before stretching again.
- 5
Brush the garlic infused olive oil evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
Tip: Save a little oil to brush on top after cutting for extra flavor.
- 6
Sprinkle your spice mixture generously over the oiled dough, then add the grated parmesan cheese.
Tip: Press the seasonings lightly into the oil so they stick during baking.
- 7
Cut the dough into strips about 2 centimeters wide using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Tip: Straight cuts make more uniform breadsticks that cook evenly.
- 8
Arrange the strips on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Tip: Rotate the tray halfway through baking for even browning.

Beergarita
My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser. The combination of tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and a cold Corona creates something that tastes way more complicated than it actually is. Lime juice is packed with vitamin C, which is great for your immune system, and the whole thing takes just five minutes to throw together. Best part? It's incredibly budget friendly since you're probably already stocking most of these ingredients anyway.
