Mozzarella sticks are a popular appetizer or snack featuring strips of mozzarella cheese coated in seasoned breadcrumbs and deep-fried to a golden crisp. Originating from Italian-American cuisine, they are known for their gooey, melted cheese center and crunchy exterior. Typically served with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping, mozzarella sticks are a favorite comfort food. While they provide protein and calcium from the cheese, they are also high in saturated fat and sodium due to the frying process and breading. Moderation is key, as they can be calorie-dense and low in fiber. Baked versions or alternatives with whole-grain breading can offer slightly healthier options for enjoying this indulgent treat. Perfect for sharing, mozzarella sticks are often enjoyed at restaurants, parties, or as a quick hunger fix.
