Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sticks Mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
Instructions
Place the mozzarella cheese sticks in the freezer for about 1 hour to firm up. This will help prevent them from melting too quickly when frying.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined.
Dip each mozzarella stick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
Then dip the egg-coated mozzarella stick into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly. Repeat the egg and flour coating process a second time for each stick to ensure a thick coating.
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a tray and return them to the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
In a medium skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Carefully place a few mozzarella sticks at a time into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the mozzarella sticks for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried cheese sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately while still warm and crispy.
