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.

Ingredients

.5 cup Marinara - Sturdy Sauce
6 pieces Wonton Wrappers, Frozen
3 pieces Mozzarella String Cheese, cut in half

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

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.

Why Sturdy Sauce?

Because regular marinara just doesn’t cut it.

20g protein per serving = real nutrition in every bite
Zero-added sugar, seed oil-free, and keto-friendly
Bold, rich flavor that makes every meal better

With Sturdy Sauce, you’re not just eating. You’re fueling up. This is the way sauce was meant to be.
