Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, set up the breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Bread the Cheese
Coat each frozen mozzarella stick first in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally roll in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Repeat until all cheese sticks are breaded.

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

Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully place a few breaded mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
