Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Begin by making the marinara sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer the sauce for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Next, prepare the cheese sticks. Lay out the low-carb wraps on a clean surface.
- Brush each wrap lightly with melted butter.
- Sprinkle garlic powder and dried parsley evenly over the buttered wraps.
- Spread a generous layer of shredded cheese over one half of each wrap, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Fold the wraps in half over the cheese to create a half-moon shape.
- Place the cheese-filled wraps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the wraps are golden brown and crispy.
- Once the cheese sticks are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the cheese sticks warm with the marinara sauce for dipping.
