INGREDIENTS

4 piece Part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks

0.5 cup Liquid egg whites

2 tbsp Almond flour

2 tbsp Nutritional yeast

1 tsp Cayenne pepper

1 tsp Smoked paprika

0.5 tsp Garlic powder

0.5 tsp Onion powder

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 tsp Avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the liquid egg whites until slightly frothy.

• 3

  In a separate shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, nutritional yeast, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Dip each frozen mozzarella stick into the egg whites, then roll in the spice and flour mixture until fully coated.

• 5

  Repeat the dipping process a second time for each stick to create a double-layered crust for maximum crunch.

• 6

  Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and lightly coat the basket with avocado oil.

• 7

  Place the coated sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.

• 8

  Lightly spray the tops of the sticks with the remaining avocado oil.

• 9

  Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the coating is golden and crisp, keeping a close eye to prevent the cheese from bursting.

• 10

  Serve immediately while the center is warm and melty.
