Grain Free Low Carb Mozzarella Sticks

Ingredients:

1 large piece of fresh mozzarella chopped into sticks
4 tbsp coconut flour
2 tbsp finely shredded parmesan cheese
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 egg
1 cup canola oil (don't worry you won't use it all)

Makes about 12 mozzarella sticks.

Instructions:

1. Whisk the egg in a small bowl.
2. In another bowl, mix together the coconut flour, seasoning and parmesan cheese.
3. Dip the mozzarella stick into the egg.
4. Then coat it thoroughly in the flour/ cheese mixture.
5. FREEZE for at LEAST an hour. You cannot shorten this freezing process. I was impatient the first time I made these mozzarella sticks, but this recipe won't work without freezing them.
6. Pour the canola oil into a small pot and heat.
7. Dunk the sticks into the canola oil until lightly browned.
8. Enjoy!

The nutrition facts are slightly difficult to determine because you will be left with a fair amount of canola oil in your pot and probably some of the flour mixture. That being said the mozzarella itself should have about 0.5 carbs per stick and the coconut flour adds 1 net carb per stick. So each stick should have about 1.5 net carbs if you use all the flour mixture to coat your sticks.
