Mozzarella sticks are a popular appetizer rooted in Italian-American cuisine, featuring gooey mozzarella cheese encased in a golden, crispy breaded coating. These indulgent snacks are typically made by coating sticks of mozzarella in seasoned breadcrumbs, sometimes with herbs and spices, and deep-frying them to perfection. While loved for their rich flavor and satisfying texture, mozzarella sticks are high in calories, fat, and sodium due to the cheese and frying process. On the upside, mozzarella is a good source of protein and calcium, which support bone health and muscle function. To enjoy a lighter version, consider baking or air-frying them instead of deep-frying. Best served with marinara or a dipping sauce, they are a treat best eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
