1. Make the cheese: Halve the mozzarella sticks to create 24 pieces.
2. Mix the breadcrumbs: In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the sticks:
• Dredge each mozzarella stick in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Dip the floured sticks into the beaten eggs, making sure they are completely coated.
• Roll the egg-coated sticks in the crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Freeze: Place the coated sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line another baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Bake: Arrange the frozen mozzarella sticks on the prepared sheet, spacing them out. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
7. Serve: Enjoy the marinara sauce immediately for dipping.
