Ingredients
- 8 sticks mozzarella string cheese cut in half
- 1 egg beaten
- ½ cup crushed pork rinds
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- If frying: high temperature oil
- Low carb marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Place egg in a shallow bowl and beat well. In another shallow bowl, mix pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder; whisk to combine.
- Dip each piece of mozzarella in the egg, then roll in the pork rind mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet and freeze, uncovered, for at least one hour or until ready to fry or bake.
- To bake: Bake at 400 degree F. for 10-12 minutes, flipping once halfway through, or until golden brown.
- Frying instructions: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry keto mozzarella sticks in a single layer, 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and softened.
- Serve with marinara sauce.
Notes
- Freezing these mozzarella sticks before cooking is very important. Give them at least 1 hour in the freezer before cooking.
- Frying makes for crunchier cheese sticks, but baking gives better flavor and easier clean up.
