• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 11 to 13 minutes.
• Warm pizza sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, about 5 minutes. Use warmed sauce as a dipping sauce for mozzarella sticks.

LIGHT AND BAKED MOZZARELLA STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat a toaster oven on broil setting, or set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Spray a small baking sheet with cooking spray.
