Ingredients
- 8 sticks Mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the mozzarella cheese sticks in the freezer for about 1 hour to firm up. This will help prevent them from melting too quickly when frying.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined.
Step 4
Dip each mozzarella stick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
Step 5
Then dip the egg-coated mozzarella stick into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly. Repeat the egg and flour coating process a second time for each stick to ensure a thick coating.
Step 6
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a tray and return them to the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
Step 7
In a medium skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Step 8
Carefully place a few mozzarella sticks at a time into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 9
Fry the mozzarella sticks for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried cheese sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 11
Serve immediately while still warm and crispy.
