Calories 64kcal
Ingredients
- 12 string cheeses
- 1-2 eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Lightly spray your baking sheet with oil.
- Cut cheese in half to give you 24 pieces. Place cut cheese sticks in the freezer until cheese is frozen (about 30 mins).
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg(s). Place the flour on another small bowl. In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and dried parsley.
- Make an assembly line of the three bowls: flour, egg mixture, and bread crumbs mixture.
- Dip the string cheese, one at a time, in the flour, then in the egg mixture and then in the bread crumbs, making sure to completely coat each piece of string cheese.
- Repeat this process with the remaining cheese and place them on your baking sheet.
- Spray the tops of the mozzarella sticks with a little more oil and bake in the oven 4-5 minutes. Turn and bake an additional 4–5 minutes, watching them closely so they don’t melt.
- Serve immediately with marinara sauce for dipping.
