INGREDIENTS

5 whole part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks

1 large egg

2 tbsp almond flour

1 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 cup marinara sauce

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the mozzarella sticks in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to ensure they do not melt completely before the crust browns.

• 2

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 3

  In a small shallow bowl, whisk the large egg until the yolk and white are fully combined.

• 4

  In a second shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until uniform.

• 5

  Remove the cheese sticks from the freezer; dip each stick into the egg wash, then roll it in the almond flour mixture until evenly coated.

• 6

  Arrange the coated sticks on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the coating is golden and the cheese is soft.

• 7

  While the sticks are baking, gently warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.

• 8

  Serve the mozzarella sticks immediately with the warm marinara for dipping.
