Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour (I use this brand)
  • 2 large eggs, whisked 
  • 1 batch Savory Breading Mix (included below)
  • 8 mozzarella string cheese sticks, halved crosswise 
  • Cooking oil, such as avocado oil or tallow 
  • Marinara Sauce and Ranch Dressing, for serving
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese 
  • ½ cup blanched almond flour (I use this brand)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning 
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder 
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder 
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instruction

  • Set up three shallow bowls in a row. Put the coconut flour in the first bowl, the whisked eggs in the second bowl, and the breading mix in the third bowl. 
  • Dredge each cheese stick in the coconut flour, then coat it in the egg wash. Finish it off by coating it liberally in the breading mix. Repeat this three-step process with each cheese stick. 
  • Freeze the breaded cheese sticks for 3 hours, up to 24 hours for best results. 
  • Heat 1 to 2 inches of oil in a large 4-inch-deep (or deeper) skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and begins to bubble slightly, gently drop the cheese sticks into the oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. 
  • Remove the cheese sticks from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb the excess oil before serving. 
  • Serve with marinara and ranch for dipping.
