Cheese sticks are a popular snack or appetizer made by coating sticks of cheese, typically mozzarella, with seasoned breadcrumbs and frying or baking them until golden and crispy. Originating from Italian-American cuisine, these savory treats are often served with marinara sauce for dipping, enhancing their flavor profile. While cheese sticks are a good source of calcium and protein due to the cheese, they are also high in saturated fats and calories, especially when fried. Additionally, the breading and frying process may introduce extra carbohydrates and unhealthy trans fats if cooked in certain oils. Baked cheese sticks can be a slightly lighter option. Balanced consumption and pairing with nutrient-rich sides, such as a fresh salad, can help enjoy this indulgent dish without overloading on unhealthy components.
