1
Prepare the Coating
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and bread crumbs mixed with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.
2
Coat the Cheese Sticks
Take each mozzarella stick, first coat it in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the bread crumb mixture. Ensure they are fully coated.
3
Chill the Coated Sticks
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze them for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the 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 in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried mozzarella sticks and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side.
