Description
Keto Mozzarella Sticks are a delicious and low-carb snack perfect for those following a ketogenic diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into sticks
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free, for dipping)
- Oil for frying (such as avocado oil or coconut oil)
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten.
- In another shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Dip each mozzarella stick into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Roll the egg-coated mozzarella stick in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating. Repeat for all mozzarella sticks.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Carefully add the coated mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with sugar-free marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the almond flour mixture.
- For a baked option, place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.
