Ingredients:
- 10 oz Block Mozzarella
- ¼ Cup Psyllium Husk
- ½ Cup Hemp Seeds
- ¼ Cup Almond Flour
- 2 Eggs
- Coconut Oil for frying
Directions:
- Cut the block of mozzarella into 12 sticks, ensuring they are approximately the same size for even cooking.
- In a bowl, beat 2 eggs until well combined. In another bowl, mix together the psyllium husk, hemp seeds, and almond flour.
- Take each mozzarella stick and dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, roll the stick in the dry mixture of psyllium husk, hemp seeds, and almond flour, pressing gently to adhere the mixture to the cheese. Repeat this process for all the mozzarella sticks.
- Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a plate or baking sheet and freeze them until they are solid, which should take about 40 minutes. Freezing the sticks helps them hold their shape and prevents the cheese from melting too quickly during frying.
- Heat 1/4 cup of coconut oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few mozzarella sticks into the pan, making sure not to overcrowd it. Fry the sticks for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Repeat this step for the remaining mozzarella sticks, adjusting the heat if needed.
- Once fried, transfer the mozzarella sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the Keto Mozzarella Sticks while they are still warm and crispy, alongside some low-carb ketchup or marinara sauce for dipping.
