Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 12- 1 ounce mozzarella sticks (halved width-wise)
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup ground pork rinds (plain)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 2 whole eggs, beaten

Instruction

  • Grind your pork rinds in a food processor or mini chopper.  Remove and set aside.  Add cubes of parmesan cheese and grind till you get a granular consistency, like the pork rinds.  
  • Add all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix using a hand whisk or fork, until well combined. Set up your breading station with the mozzarella sticks, beaten eggs and breading mixture.
  • Dip each stick into the egg, then breading mixture, back into the egg and into the breading mixture again. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  • If you are making homemade marinara sauce,  you can make the sauce while the mozzarella sticks are in the freezer.  See my recipe for my Quick Homemade Marinara Sauce .
  • After 30 minutes, heat some light olive oil (or mild flavored oil) in a skillet on medium high.  Fry the mozzarella stick for 3-4 minutes, then set on paper towels to cool slightly.
  • Serve with your favorite low carb marinara sauce, or make a batch of my Quick Homemade Marinara Sauce .  Enjoy!
