Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free bread crumbs
- 8 ounces Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cheddar cheese into 1/2-inch thick sticks, about 4 inches long.
In a shallow bowl, mix the gluten-free bread crumbs, almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
Place the cornstarch in a third shallow bowl.
Coat each cheese stick first in cornstarch, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally, roll in the bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
Lay the coated cheese sticks on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart to ensure even baking.
Drizzle or spray the olive oil lightly over the coated cheese sticks for added crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Allow the cheese sticks to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
