Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 eggs
- 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 cheese stick in half to create 16 pieces in total and place them into the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dry coating.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth to prepare the wet coating.
Once the cheese sticks are well-frozen, remove them from the freezer.
Dip each cheese stick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Transfer the egg-coated cheese stick to the almond flour mixture and roll it until completely covered.
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a pan, heat the coconut oil or avocado oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried mozzarella sticks with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately with low-carb marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
