Ingredients

• 8 sticks Cheese sticks (mozzarella or cheddar)
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Pork rinds, crushed
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, crushed pork rinds, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until they are smooth.

Step 4

Take each cheese stick and dip it first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.

Step 5

Next, roll the egg-coated cheese stick in the almond flour mixture, pressing the mixture onto the cheese to ensure it sticks well.

Step 6

Place the coated cheese sticks on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart.

Step 7

Drizzle or lightly spray the coated cheese sticks with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Allow to cool slightly before serving, as the cheese will be hot and gooey.
