Cottage Cheese Cheese Sticks 6 Steps Easy Delicious

I prepare cottage cheese sticks for meal prep purposes to‌ slice into other baked foods later․ I‌ use one bowl to prepare cottage cheese sticks․ Cottage cheese sticks bake on parchment paper for 15 minutes or so‌ and have a chewy texture that works well for dipping․

I drain the cottage cheese before mixing‌ it with other ingredients in‌ the bowl․ Be sure to‌ mix well to prevent clumping of‌ dry breadcrumbs․ Baked sticks made‌ with un-drained cottage cheese‌ are soggy․ Baked sticks made with drained‌ cottage cheese mixture maintain a 4-inch length and 1-inch width fairly well (I don't attempt to keep the sizes of the‌ sticks consistent)․ Baked‌ sticks of uneven sizes‌ turn out well․

Bake drumsticks on‌ a baking sheet‌ lined with parchment paper‚ leaving room between drumsticks to promote even cooking and browning․ I recommend cooking spray‚ but you can also‌ brush drumsticks with olive oil before‌ baking․ Bake drumsticks until‌ golden brown‌ and sizzling․

For serving ideas‚ marinara sauce‌ or other dips pair well with these foods‚ especially as part of a snack tray․ Including a salad with these‌ foods makes them part of a full meal․ You can also‌ serve these foods as appetizers at parties․ Kids‌ typically like these foods with marinara sauce or other dips․
