One of my favorite things to order when we eat out is mozzarella sticks. There is just something so good about the melty cheese and marinara sauce!
I thought it would be fun to create a homemade mozzarella sticks recipe that wasn’t fried and super easy to make.
These are perfect for an afternoon snack, appetizer or just because you want a super yummy treat!
I am thinking about trying these out in the air fryer which I am now hooked on. These work great for after school treats, football parties, or any night you want a quick treat.

These are just a few of our favorite appetizer recipes. I am going to admit that some days we have appetizers for dinner and just try a few different things.
Homemade Mozzarella Sticks Recipe
Ingredients
12 sticks of string cheese in your choice of cheese ā I used mozzarella
1 egg
2 tbsp of flour
5 tbsp of bread crumbs
2 tbsp of parmesan cheese
A tad of olive oil, or cooking spray
How to make Mozzarella SticksĀ
Cut the cheese sticks in half, making 24 slices, then freeze the slices in the freezer until completely frozen
Beat the egg in a small bowl. Use a separate bowl to combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese
To bread the cheese sticks: First, dip the frozen cheese stick into the flour, then into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture
Once all of the cheese sticks are coated, place them on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil coated with a few drops of olive oil or sprayed with cooking spray (this helps keep them from sticking)
Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 4 minutes, or until crisp. Watch them closely so they donāt melt completely!
These are so much healthier because they have no butter in them and are baked.Ā Serve with marinara sauce and enjoy!
