Mozzarella sticks are a popular appetizer or snack featuring crispy, golden breading and gooey mozzarella cheese. Originating from Italian-American cuisine, they are made by coating sticks of mozzarella in seasoned breadcrumbs, then deep-frying or baking to achieve their signature crunch. This dish is often served with marinara sauce for dipping, adding a tangy complement to the creamy cheese. While mozzarella provides calcium and protein, mozzarella sticks are typically high in saturated fat due to the cheese and cooking method. The breading and frying contribute to added calories and carbohydrates, making them a less healthy choice when consumed frequently or in large portions. However, baked versions or those paired with fresh vegetables can offer a more balanced option for enjoying this indulgent treat. Mozzarella sticks remain a savory favorite for their warm, satisfying texture and bold flavor appeal.
