INGREDIENTS

4 sticks low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 large egg

2 tbsp almond flour

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp avocado oil spray

0.25 cup marinara sauce

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place mozzarella sticks in the freezer for 30 minutes to ensure they do not melt too quickly during the cooking process.

• 2

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until the yolk and white are completely combined and smooth.

• 3

  In a separate shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, grated parmesan, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well blended.

• 4

  Dip each frozen cheese stick into the egg wash, then roll in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the coating adheres.

• 5

  For an extra-crunchy exterior, dip the coated stick back into the egg and then once more into the almond flour mixture.

• 6

  Lightly spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil and arrange the sticks in a single layer, leaving space between them for air circulation.

• 7

  Air fry at 400°F for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the coating is golden-brown and the cheese is soft but not leaking.

• 8

  Serve the sticks immediately while hot with the marinara sauce warmed in a small dipping bowl.
