Storing Mozzarella Sticks
Store completely cooled mozzarella sticks in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. Line the container with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Freezing Mozzarella Sticks
To freeze, allow the sticks to cool completely, then arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to a zip-top bag and store for up to three months.
Reheating Mozzarella Sticks
Reheat refrigerated or frozen mozzarella sticks in the oven. For refrigerated sticks, bake at 350°F for about 5 minutes. For frozen sticks, bake at 450°F for 10-15 minutes, until heated through.
