Description
Enjoy these delicious Keto Mozzarella Sticks with an almond flour coating for a low-carb cheesy snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup sugar-free marinara sauce for dipping
- Oil for frying (like coconut or olive oil)
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the mozzarella sticks in half to create bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, onion powder, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper, whisking until smooth.
- In a separate dish, pour the almond flour.
- Take each cheese piece, dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then roll it in the almond flour until it’s completely covered.
- Heat a generous layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Carefully place the coated cheese pieces into the hot oil, frying them in small batches to ensure they cook evenly.
- Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a beautiful golden color.
- Once done, transfer the cheesy sticks onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
- Serve them hot with a side of sugar-free marinara sauce for a delightful dip.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
- Experiment with different spices in the coating for added flavor.
