Skeleton Bone Cheese Sticks with Marinara
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Oven
- Small saucepan
Ingredients
- 8 mozzarella string cheese sticks
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the mozzarella string cheese sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning evenly over the tops of the cheese sticks.
- Bake for 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese softens and the coating begins to turn light golden.
- While the cheese sticks bake, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the cheese sticks from the oven and let them rest for one minute before serving with the warm marinara.
Notes
Serve the cheese sticks right after baking so they stay stretchy. If you need to hold them briefly, keep them on the warm baking sheet rather than covering them, which can make the coating soggy. For a milder version, skip the Italian seasoning and use only Parmesan.
