Method

For the Mozzarella Sticks

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Freeze the mozzarella cheese sticks for at least 30 minutes to make them easier to bread and fry.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Remove the mozzarella sticks from the freezer. Dip each stick into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat until all sticks are breaded.

  4. 4

    Fry the Mozzarella Sticks

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the cheese sticks in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

For the Marinara Sauce

  1. 5

    Cook the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the saucepan. Stir well and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the chopped fresh basil just before serving. Remove from heat and set aside.
