Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sticks Mozzarella string cheese
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Coconut oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Cut each mozzarella string cheese stick in half to create 16 shorter sticks.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dry coating mixture.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the tablespoon of water until combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dip each mozzarella stick half into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the almond flour mixture until fully coated.
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour. This helps the coating adhere during frying.
Once the mozzarella sticks are frozen, heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Carefully lower a few mozzarella sticks into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 1-2 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining mozzarella sticks.
Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb marinara sauce or dipping sauce.
