Description

Following these simple steps, you can make a delicous batch of Air Fryer Low Carb Mozzarella Sticks.

Ingredients 

  • 12 mozzarella cheese sticks
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Prep the Cheese: Freeze the mozzarella sticks for at least 1-2 hours, or until solid.
  • Mix Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Dip: Dip each frozen mozzarella stick first into the beaten eggs, then into the almond flour mixture. Ensure it's fully coated. For extra crunch, dip again into the eggs and then the almond flour mixture.
  • Freeze Again: Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze again for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the coating stick to the cheese and prevents melting too quickly in the air fryer.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Cook: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the mozzarella sticks in the basket, making sure they are not touching. Work in batches if necessary. Spray the tops of the mozzarella sticks lightly with cooking spray or olive oil spray.
  • Air Fry: Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent the cheese from leaking out.
  • Serve: Allow the mozzarella sticks to cool for a minute or two before serving with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
