✨ Recipe Ingredients
To make these keto mozzarella sticks you will need:
- 1/4 cup Almond Flour
- 1/8 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
- 1 Egg (large)
- String Cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Salt
- 1 1/4 tablespoons Coconut Flour
- Oil (for frying)
👨🍳 How To Make
Easily make low carb Mozzarella sticks:
Step 1
Slice the string cheese in half. You can also use them as is without slicing (for bigger cheese sticks).
Step 2
Add the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to a small bowl. Whisk them together. Then, add the grated Parmesan, almond flour, coconut flour, and garlic salt to another bowl. Mix well.
Step 3
Dip each cheese string into the egg, and then coat with the almond flour mixture. Make sure they are fully coated. Then, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 1 hour.
Step 4
Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Place the cheese sticks into the oil (carefully). Don’t overcrowd!
Step 5
Fry for about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Place them on a paper towel, pat off the excess oil, and serve. Enjoy!
💡Tips
1. Double-Coat the Mozzarella Sticks for Extra Crispiness
To achieve extra crispy keto mozzarella sticks, you can double-coat them with the egg wash and the almond flour mixture. After the initial coating, place the mozzarella sticks back into the egg wash and then coat them again with the almond flour mixture.
2. Freeze the Mozzarella Sticks Before Frying
Freezing the coated mozzarella sticks before frying is an important step that should not be skipped. Place the prepared mozzarella sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze them for at least an hour, or until they are firm to the touch.
This freezing process helps the coating adhere better to the cheese and prevents the sticks from falling apart during frying. It also allows the cheese to maintain its shape and not melt too quickly when exposed to the hot oil.
3. Serve with Sugar-Free Marinara Sauce
Mozzarella sticks are often served with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, and you can easily enjoy this classic combination on a keto diet. Look for sugar-free marinara sauce options at your local grocery store, or make your own by simmering crushed tomatoes with garlic, herbs, and spices.
