Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 mozzarella sticks, ((string cheese))
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg white
  • vegetable oil, (for frying)
  • (optional) marinara, (for dipping)

Instruction

  • Cut the cheese sticks in half so you have 24 total. In a large shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll the cheese in the breading mixture, transfer to coat in the egg, and then dip again in the breading. Place breaded cheese sticks on the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cheese.
  • Once all the cheese has been breaded, freeze until solid, at least 1 hour.
  • Fill a large deep skillet with at least 1 ½ - 2 inches oil so the mozzarella sticks don't stick to the bottom as they cook. Heat the oil to 350ºF to properly cook the exterior crispy while the cheese melts and stays inside.
  • Once the oil reaches the proper temperature, cook no more than 6 cheese sticks at a time for about 2 minutes, flipping to brown all sides evenly. Use a thermometer to check the oil temperature regularly to make sure it stays around 350ºF.
  • Repeat with remaining frozen mozzarella sticks. Cooked cheese sticks may be held in a 175ºF while the others finish frying. Serve immediately with marinara sauce.
