BBQ Turkey Bacon-Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks

Unwrap the mozzarella string cheese and pat them dry with a paper towel (this helps the bacon stick better).
Cut each bacon slice in half if they are long, or leave whole if short.
2. Wrap with Turkey Bacon:
Wrap each mozzarella stick tightly with a slice of turkey bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks.
Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet with the seam side down.
3. Brush with BBQ Sauce & Season:
In a small bowl, mix BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and honey (if using).
Brush a thin layer of BBQ sauce over the bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks.
4. Bake or Air Fry:
Oven Method:
7. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melty.

Air Fryer Method:
9. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
10. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
