Baked Mozzarella Sticks with Spicy Tomato Dipping
Smart snacking

Ingredients:
Makes four servings Weight Watchers PointsPlus value: 3 per serving Olive oil cooking spray 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 garlic clove, minced 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon granulated sugar 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional) 6 tablespoons unseasoned panko or breadcrumbs 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons enriched flour 2 egg whites, lightly scrambled 4 pieces Weight Watchers Light String Cheese (or Weight Watchers Natural Light Smoked Mozzarella String Cheese), cut in half

Instructions:
Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-low heat until just warm, about 1 minute. Add garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Add tomato sauce, salt, sugar and red pepper flakes; stir well. Heat until sauce begins to bubble. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat. On a medium plate, combine panko, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Place flour on small plate. Coat each stick in flour. Shake off excess; dip in egg. Dip sticks in panko mixture. Place sticks on baking sheet 2 inches apart. Spray tops with olive oil cooking spray. Place baking sheet in freezer for 1 hour; refrigerate sauce. Preheat oven to 400 degrees 15-20 minutes before serving. Remove baking sheet from freezer; place in oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until sticks are just heated through, not melted. Remove from oven. Remove sauce from refrigerator. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until warmed through. Serve with sticks.
