Ingredients

• 12 units Mozzarella cheese sticks
• 1 cup Gluten-free flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 cups Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

Cut each mozzarella stick in half to make 24 pieces total.

Step 2

Set up a breading station by placing the gluten-free flour in one shallow dish.

Step 3

In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.

Step 4

In a third dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Dip each piece of mozzarella into the flour, ensuring it is completely coated.

Step 6

Then, dip the floured mozzarella into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Finally, coat the mozzarella thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat until all pieces are coated.

Step 8

Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a tray or plate. Once all sticks are coated, freeze them for at least 1 hour, or until firm.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or deep pan to 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 11

Remove the fried sticks using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.

Step 12

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch.
