Ingredients
- 6 Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Large Eggs, Beaten
- Cooking Oil, Enough To Come Up 1 Inch In A 3 1/2-quart Pot
- Marinara Sauce, For Dipping
Preparation
Cut mozzarella sticks in half.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Italian seasoning and salt.
To a separate shallow bowl, add beaten eggs.
Coat mozzarella sticks in egg, followed by almond flour mixture. Repeat dipping in egg, then almond flour again, being sure to coat them completely and not to have any of the cheese exposed.
Set coated cheese sticks aside on a tray or plate. Repeat with remaining cheese sticks. Place the plate of cheese sticks in the freezer for 2 hours.
When ready to fry the cheese sticks, heat oil in a heavy bottom pot to 375ºF. Add 6 of the coated cheese sticks and cook until golden brown. This will only take a couple of minutes. Flip halfway through cooking for even color.
Remove from pot with a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel. Continue cooking remaining cheese sticks.
Serve with marinara.
Note: Nutrition info assumes 1 teaspoon of oil absorbed for each mozzarella stick.
