Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 units Mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1 cup Gluten-free flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Cut each mozzarella stick in half to make 24 pieces total.
Set up a breading station by placing the gluten-free flour in one shallow dish.
In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
In a third dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each piece of mozzarella into the flour, ensuring it is completely coated.
Then, dip the floured mozzarella into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Finally, coat the mozzarella thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat until all pieces are coated.
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a tray or plate. Once all sticks are coated, freeze them for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the fried sticks using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch.
