Ingredients

• 8 pieces Mozzarella cheese sticks
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 cup Avocado oil

Directions

Step 1

Place the mozzarella cheese sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the coating for the mozzarella sticks.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Once the mozzarella sticks are frozen, dip each stick into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.

Step 5

Then coat them thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the cheese stick to adhere.

Step 6

Repeat the dipping and coating process to double-coat each mozzarella stick. This ensures a crispier and more resilient crust.

Step 7

Place the coated mozzarella sticks back on the baking sheet and freeze for another 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 8

While the cheese sticks are freezing again, heat the avocado oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure correct temperature.

Step 9

Once the oil is hot, fry the mozzarella sticks in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the cooked mozzarella sticks with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Serve immediately with your favorite keto-friendly marinara sauce or dipping sauce of choice.
