Ingredients

• 12 pieces Mozzarella cheese sticks
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 large Eggs, beaten
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Cut each mozzarella cheese stick in half to make 24 shorter sticks, if desired to ensure easier handling and even cooking.

Step 2

In one shallow bowl, mix gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs until fully blended.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, combine gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and dried Italian herbs.

Step 5

Roll each mozzarella stick in the seasoned flour, ensuring it gets a good coating.

Step 6

Dip each floured mozzarella stick into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Roll the egg-coated stick through the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the breadcrumbs to the cheese.

Step 8

Place the coated mozzarella stick on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining sticks.

Step 9

Once all the sticks are coated, place the tray in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent the cheese from oozing out too quickly while frying.

Step 10

In a deep saucepan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Step 11

Fry the sticks in batches, without overcrowding, for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy on the outside. Turn them gently to ensure even cooking.

Step 12

Remove the mozzarella sticks with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 13

Serve warm with your favorite gluten-free marinara sauce or dipping sauce.
