Mozzarella sticks are one of my favorite appetizers. The cheesy gooey goodness inside a crispy golden outer crust?? Irresistable! The thing is, are they healthy? No. Are they even in the middle, like not healthy but not not healthy? No. They are definitely no-so-healthy. But they’re so good! But they’re unhealthy. You see my embarrassing restaurant ordering dilemma? Fortunately, in addition to loving cheesy gooey things wrapped in crispy golden breaded crusts, I also love turning not-so-healthy deliciousness into totally-guilt-free deliciousness. Enter healthier Oven Baked Mozzarella Sticks. These mozzarella sticks are done in basically three simple steps.

  1. Freeze the cheese.
  2. Coat the cheese with crumby goodness.
  3. Bake the cheese to crispy golden melty gooeyness. Eat. Enjoy. Repeat! (Repeat = Not necessary but totally recommended).
