Prepare the Cheese
Cut the mozzarella cheese into sticks about 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes.

Set Up Breading Station
In three shallow bowls, set up the breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and parmesan cheese.

Bread the Cheese Sticks
Take the frozen mozzarella sticks and coat each stick in flour first, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the cheese to adhere well.

Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully add a few mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

Drain and Serve
Remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
