These low carb, keto mozzarella sticks are a healthier, gluten free, grain free alternative to traditional fried cheese sticks. They are a kid-friendly low carb treat.
Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer to 375°F. Follow your deep fryer manual for the minumum amount of oil required and usage instructions.
While the oil is warming up, whisk remaining ingredients in a separate bowl.
You will need to fry in batches. Depending on the size of your deep fryer, dip 3-4 cheese stick halves in the egg and shake until dripping stops. Coat with the breading mixture and drop into the oil, careful not to splatter or touch the other cheese sticks.
Fry for approximately 45 seconds, turning halfway through until each side is golden brown. Drain on a paper towel. Continue frying the cheese sticks in batches until finished.
Serve with low sugar marinara sauce. (Sauce not included in nutrition facts. For clean keto, make your own from scratch.)
Notes
A Note on Nutrition FactsPlease note: The nutrition facts do not include the frying oil. To calculate the macros for the oil you use, please record how much you start with and subtract how much you end with (after it cools). This will give you the amount left in your food that you need to plug into My Fitness Pal or Carb Manager, and then you can divide by the number of servings. The amount of oil soaked up by your fried pickles may vary significantly from mine depending on what kind you use, the exact temperature of the oil and how long you cook yours.I am not a nutritional expert or medical professional.
