Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 8 oz Mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- Optional: salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Italian seasoning or garlic powder for added flavor
- Oil for frying (if frying method chosen), such as avocado or olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the coating: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour with any optional seasonings like salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, or garlic powder for enhanced flavor.
- Coat the mozzarella sticks: Dip each mozzarella stick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully covered, then roll it in the almond flour mixture evenly to coat all surfaces.
- Repeat coating: For a thicker crust, you can repeat the egg and almond flour coating one more time.
- Choose cooking method: For frying, heat oil in a deep pan or skillet to about 350°F (175°C). Fry the coated mozzarella sticks for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown, then drain on paper towels. For baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 8-10 minutes until crispy and melted inside.
- Serve immediately: Serve the keto mozzarella sticks hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce such as marinara or ranch dressing.
Notes
- To prevent cheese from leaking during cooking, freeze the coated mozzarella sticks for at least 30 minutes before frying or baking.
- Use a thermometer to monitor oil temperature when frying to avoid burning the almond flour coating.
- For extra crispiness when baking, turn the sticks halfway through cooking.
- Store leftover mozzarella sticks in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to retain crispiness rather than the microwave.
