These baked mozzarella sticks are just as crispy and full of melted cheese liked the fried version, minus all of the fat and calories.  These make a great appetizer and are a perfect snack, especially for kids! \"Baked<\/p>\n

Back when I was a teenager, I used to have a major thing for Sonic.  I literally ate it almost everyday one summer.  Looking back now I cringe at the fact that I ate there so much.  I used to love ordering their fried mozzarella sticks and drowning them in some marinara sauce.  Fast forward ten years, and long gone are the days of my teenage metabolism.<\/p>\n

Ok, so I’m only in my mid-20s but I’m sure my body couldn’t recover from so many fast food meals like it once did.  I really love fried mozzarella sticks, but  I’m not a fan of all of the fried dough and breading.  Now days, it’s just way too greasy for my taste buds. <\/p>\n

\"BakedThe good news is that I can still enjoy them, but in a much healthier way.  These mozzarella sticks are seriously good and addicting!  It’s almost hard to stop at one, but that’s ok because these are baked instead of fried.  The panko bread crumbs help give them a nice crunchy little exterior, just like their fried counterparts.  If you haven’t used panko before, I highly suggest it!  It makes things so much crispier than regular bread crumbs, I love them. <\/p>\n

These cheese sticks are great dipped in some marinara sauce, or even some light ranch.  Now you can enjoy a classic version of your favorite appetizer, but in a much healthier way. <\/p>\n
