Mozzarella sticks are a popular appetizer or snack, often associated with American cuisine but inspired by Italian culinary traditions. They consist of mozzarella cheese, typically cut into stick-like shapes, coated in seasoned breadcrumbs or batter, and deep-fried to achieve a crispy outer layer and gooey, melted center. While they offer a source of calcium and protein from the cheese, their nutritional profile is often considered indulgent due to their high fat, calorie, and sodium content from both the cheese and frying process. Some versions may be baked for a slightly healthier option, though moderation is key. Mozzarella sticks are commonly served with marinara or ranch dipping sauces, adding extra flavor but also increasing calorie intake. Perfect for sharing, they remain a beloved comfort food in casual dining settings.
