Ingredients

  • 8 mozzarella sticks string cheese
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Marinara sauce optional, keto-friendly

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix the almond flour, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Dip each mozzarella stick into the beaten egg, then coat in the almond flour mixture.
  • Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the mozzarella sticks until golden brown, or bake at 400F (200C) for 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve with keto-friendly marinara sauce.

Notes

Chef's Tip: Don't skip the freezer step - it's what keeps the cheese from melting out before the coating crisps up. Keto Swap: traditional breadcrumb coating is replaced with almond flour and Parmesan.
