Ingredients

  • 12 pieces mozzarella cheese strings
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 Tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • (if you want a little heat) 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional,

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F. With parchment paper, line a baking cheese (as cheese can stick to it so better than foil).
  2. In a small bowl, beat TWO eggs and put it aside.
  3. In a zipper lock sandwich bag, place the salt, coconut flour, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, almond flour, garlic powder and red pepper flakes if using. Shake bag until it gets blended.
  4. Into the beaten egg, dip each mozzarella cheese string/stick and then put into the sandwich bag. By shaking the bag, coat the cheese string and place on a plate. Freeze for THIRTY to SIXTY minutes.
  5. Place the mozzarella sticks on the baking sheet if baking and until golden brown, bake for about TWENTY minutes.
  6. Heat a small amount of oil if frying (olive preferably) to about 1/4 an inch deep, in a small frying pan. Over a medium heat, heat oil and pan-fry until it gets golden brown(There’s no need to try and ‘deep fry’ them). Brown on all sides
  7. Enjoy as is/use a low sugar marinara sauce.
