Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful twist, consider adding shredded cheese or chopped fresh garlic to the batter. If you don't have Bisquick, you can substitute it with a homemade baking mix using flour, baking powder, and salt. Make sure to spread the batter evenly in the pan for consistent cooking, and keep an eye on baking time as ovens may vary. These Quick Garlic Sticks can be a great accompaniment to Classic Dinner Rolls.
Serving Suggestions
These Quick Garlic Sticks are perfect as a side for pasta dishes or soups. Serve them warm, brushed with additional melted butter for an extra indulgent touch. They pair beautifully with marinara sauce for dipping, adding a delightful flavor contrast. For a complete meal, enjoy them alongside a fresh salad or a hearty soup.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the garlic sticks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, simply warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until heated through, which helps retain their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour instead of Bisquick?
Yes, you can make your own baking mix using all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This will provide a similar texture and flavor. Just remember to adjust the quantities to match the original recipe's proportions for leavening.
Can I freeze the garlic sticks?
Absolutely! To freeze, let the sticks cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and warm in the oven.
How can I make these garlic sticks more garlic-flavored?
For a stronger garlic flavor, increase the amount of garlic powder or add minced fresh garlic to the batter. You can also sprinkle additional garlic powder on top before baking for an aromatic finish. Just be cautious not to overpower the other flavors.
