1
Prepare the Ingredients
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2
Bread the Mozzarella Sticks
Dip each mozzarella stick first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure they are evenly coated.
3
Chill the Sticks
Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable 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, frying for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6
Serve
Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
