🧀 Ingredients You Need
-
10–12 mozzarella string cheese sticks
-
2 large eggs, beaten
-
1 cup almond flour
-
1 cup grated Parmesan
-
1 tsp Italian seasoning
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
Salt and pepper to taste

Oil for frying (avocado oil is a great keto-friendly option)
or an air fryer -
Sugar-free marinara for dipping (optional but delicious)
🧀 How to Make Easy Keto Mozzarella Sticks
1. Freeze the Cheese
Place the cheese sticks in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
This is crucial—it prevents them from melting too fast during cooking.
2. Prepare the Breading
In one bowl: beat the eggs.
In another: mix almond flour, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Dip and Coat
Dip each frozen cheese stick into the egg, then roll it in the almond flour mixture.
For an extra-crispy coating, repeat the process twice.
4. Fry or Air Fry
Frying:
Heat oil in a skillet and fry the sticks for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden.
Air Frying:
Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
5. Serve Warm
Dip into warm sugar-free marinara or enjoy them plain—they’re amazing either way.
