For the Mozzarella Sticks
1. Prepare the Cheese
Cut the mozzarella cheese into sticks if not pre-cut, ensuring they are about 4 inches long.
2. Set Up Breading Stations
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first, beat the eggs in the second, and mix the bread crumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in the third.
3. Bread the Cheese Sticks
Coat each mozzarella stick first in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the crumbs onto the cheese to ensure they stick. Repeat for all sticks.
4. Chill the Cheese Sticks
Place the breaded cheese sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.
5. Heat Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6. Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
For the Marinara Sauce
7. Cook the Garlic
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
8. Add Tomatoes and Seasonings
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, salt, and sugar. Stir to combine.
9. Simmer the Sauce
Let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with black pepper as needed.
