This is a super easy and super tasty game day appetizer.
Crunchy, salty, and cheesy – three things I’m looking for when there’s a ball
game on. They are extremely kid-friendly, too. All you need is string cheese,
wonton wrappers, oil, and some marinara sauce.
INGREDIENTS
6 mozzarella cheese sticks, sliced in half
12 wonton wrappers
1 cup vegetable or canola oil
½ cup marinara sauce, for dipping (homemade or store-bought)
METHOD
1. Heat the oil in a skillet on medium-high heat until it
reaches a temperature of 325-350 degrees.
2. Place each cheese stick half onto the center of a wonton
wrapper. Wet the tips of your fingers with a little bit of water and moisten
the edges of the wonton wrapper so that it will seal nicely. Fold the bottom of
the wrapper up over the cheese, followed by both sides, then finally the top to
seal.
3. Carefully place the wontons seal side down into the hot
oil. Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook
another 1-2 minutes. Carefully transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Serve promptly with warm marinara sauce on the side.
