INGREDIENTS
100g Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 Large Egg
1/4 cup Almond Flour
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the mozzarella into stick-sized pieces if not already pre-portioned.
In one bowl, lightly beat the egg. In a separate shallow dish, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Dip each mozzarella stick first into the beaten egg, ensuring complete coverage, then roll it in the almond flour mixture until evenly coated. For a thicker crust, repeat the egg dip and almond flour coating process.
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for airflow.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the coating is golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid the cheese melting too much and oozing out.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before enjoying these crispy, cheesy delights.
