Instructions:
- Prepare the breading station: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another shallow bowl, mix almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cut the mozzarella sticks in half so you have 24 shorter sticks.
- Take each mozzarella stick and dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it evenly with the almond flour mixture. Repeat this process for a double coating to ensure the cheese doesn’t leak out while frying.
- Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial to prevent the cheese from melting too quickly while frying.
- Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve the keto mozzarella sticks immediately with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
