Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp salted butter
- 1 tbsp & ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees, then line a small baking sheet (9”x13”) with parchment paper, leaving a little outside, so you can easily lift out when done.
- Spread out mozzarella cheese evenly. Add garlic, italian seasoning, salt, 1 tbsp parmesan cheese and shuffle until mixed.
- Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until moisture has baked out, and cheese looks crispy throughout.
- Remove from oven, and lift cheese from pan using parchment, and place on a cool surface. Brush with butter, and sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese. Use a pizza cutter to slice into 8 cheesesticks, then slice down the middle the opposite way to make 16 dippable sticks. Serve with marinara as a side, or alongside veggie noodles.
