“Crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside! π§ Try these homemade Gluten-Free Mozzarella Sticks for a deliciously cheesy snack that everyone can enjoy. Perfect for dipping and sharing!”
Ingredients:
- 12 mozzarella string cheese sticks
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs (or crushed gluten-free crackers)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions:
- Prep the Cheese: Cut the mozzarella sticks in half if they are too long. Freeze them for at least 30 minutes to make them easier to handle.
- Set Up Breading Station: Place the gluten-free flour in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the Cheese: Dredge each mozzarella stick in the gluten-free flour, coating evenly. Dip it into the beaten eggs, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks. For extra crispiness, you can double dip by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
- Fry the Cheese: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the coated mozzarella sticks in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Serve the mozzarella sticks warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Enjoy your crispy, gooey gluten-free mozzarella sticks!
