Ingredients

• 8 pieces mozzarella cheese sticks
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup coconut oil or avocado oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut each mozzarella cheese stick in half to create 16 pieces in total and place them into the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dry coating.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth to prepare the wet coating.

Step 4

Once the cheese sticks are well-frozen, remove them from the freezer.

Step 5

Dip each cheese stick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 6

Transfer the egg-coated cheese stick to the almond flour mixture and roll it until completely covered.

Step 7

Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

In a pan, heat the coconut oil or avocado oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the fried mozzarella sticks with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 11

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