Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package of mozzarella string cheese, sliced

1 (16 ounce) package of pepperoni slices

1 (16 ounce) package of fresh parsley, chopped

1 (16 ounce) package of fresh basil, chopped

1 (16 ounce) package of cherry tomatoes, halved

1 (16 ounce) package of small breadsticks

1 cup of pizza sauce

1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

1 teaspoon of dried oregano

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While that’s heating up, slice the mozzarella string cheese into rounds and set aside.

Arrange the breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and dried oregano. Toss to coat.

Place the breadsticks in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

While the breadsticks are baking, assemble the cheese and pepperoni snacks. Place a round of mozzarella cheese on each breadstick, followed by a slice of pepperoni.

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Storage & Reheating

To store leftovers, allow the snacks to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. You can reheat the snacks in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through.
