Mozzarella sticks are the GOAT of snack foods. Crispy, cheesy, and just a chef’s kiss delicious. But let’s be real. Most versions out there are just deep-fried regrets wrapped in empty calories.
That’s why we’re flipping the script. This easy, high-protein mozzarella stick recipe is made with wonton wrappers instead of breadcrumbs, air-fried instead of deep-fried, and served with Sturdy Marinara Sauce—the protein-packed, flavor-rich sauce that makes all other marinara sauces look weak.
Each serving packs 22g of protein and just 250 calories, so you’re not just dunking your cheese sticks into a bowl of sadness. You’re leveling up your snack game with real nutrition and real flavor.
What You’ll Need
- 1/2 cup of Sturdy Marinara Sauce
- 6 wonton wrappers
- 3 reduced-fat mozzarella string cheese sticks, cut in half
- A small bowl of water for sealing the wrappers
- Non-stick spray
How to Make It
- Lay a wonton wrapper flat. Place a half-mozzarella stick near the edge and start rolling it up like a burrito.
- Once you reach the middle, tuck in the sides, use a little water to seal the edges and finish rolling. Repeat for the rest.
- Place the wrapped mozzarella sticks in an air fryer basket. Lightly coat them with non-stick spray and cook at 350°F for 7-9 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
- Heat up some Sturdy Marinara Sauce, dunk your mozzarella sticks, and enjoy.
