1
Prepare the Ingredients
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
2
Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure they are well coated.
3
Chill the Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully add the frozen mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side.
