Ingredients

• 8 sticks Mozzarella string cheese
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Crushed pork rinds
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Olive oil or avocado oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut each mozzarella string cheese stick in half to make 16 pieces and place them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This step helps prevent the cheese from melting too quickly while frying.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, crushed pork rinds, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Remove mozzarella sticks from the freezer.

Step 5

Dip each mozzarella stick in the egg mixture, ensuring it's completely coated. Allow the excess egg to drip off.

Step 6

Roll the mozzarella stick in the almond flour breading mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating. Repeat the process to double coat each mozzarella stick: dip again in egg, then in the breading mixture.

Step 7

Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Transfer the fried mozzarella sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite low-carb marinara sauce or dipping sauce.
