These aren’t just as good as the restaurant version … they’re even better! They’re soft, buttery, garlicky, and super easy to make.

There’s a reason that Olive Garden breadsticks are so popular. Anyone who’s been to the restaurant knows how good they are. So it’s pretty exciting to tell you that I’ve got a recipe that’s every bit as good. In fact, these copycat Olive Garden breadsticks are even better than the ones at the restaurant.
These breadsticks are so soft and pillowy. They’re very buttery and have just the right amount of garlic. The breadsticks are perfect to eat by themselves, or for soaking up some pasta sauce from your plate. And best of all? They’re easy to make, and only use ingredients that you probably already have. You’ve got to try them.
I make these buttery breadsticks all the time. Here’s why I know you’ll love them.

Here are a few tricks and tips for making these copycat breadsticks.

I like to eat these breadsticks the same way that they’re eaten at Olive Garden: with Italian food. They’re perfect for sopping up the extra sauce. Here are some of my favorite recipes to serve with these garlicky breadsticks.
Store leftover breadsticks in an airtight bag. They’ll last on the counter for 3 days, or in the fridge for 5 days. Reheat them for 5 minutes in a 350F oven, or in the microwave on 80% power in 15-second increments.
You can definitely freeze leftover breadsticks. Wrap them in plastic wrap, and then place them in an airtight bag. Or just place them in 2 airtight bags. Store in the freezer for up to 4 months. Thaw or defrost before reheating, or reheat straight from the freezer in a 350F oven for 10 minutes.
