Ingredients

• 1 block (approximately 8 ounces) Vegan mozzarella cheese block
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Chickpea flour
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Cut the vegan mozzarella cheese block into stick shapes, roughly 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the almond milk and chickpea flour to create a batter. In the third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Dip each mozzarella stick first into the flour, coating all sides. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 4

Next, dip the flour-coated stick into the almond milk mixture, letting excess drip off.

Step 5

Finally, roll the stick in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure that the breadcrumbs adhere to all sides. Place each coated mozzarella stick on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6

Once all the mozzarella sticks are coated, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 8

Remove the mozzarella sticks from the freezer and spray them lightly with olive oil on all sides.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the coating is golden brown and crispy. Turn the sticks halfway through for even baking.

Step 10

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these mozzarella sticks warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara.
