Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cheese Sticks:
- Cut each mozzarella and cheddar cheese stick into halves or thirds, depending on your preference for size.
2. Prepare the Breading:
- In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- In another shallow bowl, mix almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Bread the Cheese Sticks:
- Dip each cheese stick piece into the beaten eggs, coating it thoroughly.
- Then, coat the cheese stick in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully covered with the breading.
4. Freeze the Breaded Cheese Sticks:
- Place the breaded cheese sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze them for at least one hour. This helps the breading to adhere better and prevents the cheese from melting too quickly when frying.
5. Fry the Cheese Sticks:
- In a skillet or frying pan, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Carefully place the frozen cheese sticks into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the cheese sticks for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Use tongs to carefully remove the fried cheese sticks from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the Keto Mozzarella and Cheddar Cheese Sticks hot with your favorite low-carb marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
- Enjoy these crispy, cheesy delights as a tasty appetizer or snack, perfect for satisfying your cravings while sticking to your keto lifestyle.
