For the Mozzarella Sticks

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place the coated sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spray with Olive Oil
Lightly spray the coated mozzarella sticks with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
