Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 C Pork Panko or ground pork rinds
- 1/2 C Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Italian Seasonings
- pinch of salt
- 8 Mozzarella cheese sticks
Instructions
- Pork panko is used in this recipe because when you live low carb keto, you cannot use Panko bread crumbs. Pork panko is an excellent option. If you can't find pork panko, all you need to do is grab a bag of pork rinds and place them in food processor and process till fine crumbs. Or just place the pork rinds in a ziploc bag and roll with a rolling pin until you reach the desired consistency.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a shallow bowl. Whisk egg in a separate shallow bowl.
- Roll the cheese sticks in egg first, then roll in the panko bread mixture with all the seasonings.
- Now this is the secret part to this recipe…. Lay them on a cookie sheet and place flat in the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes. This will allow them to not completely melt and ooze all over the place when placed in air fryer.
- Spray air fry basket with oil and place cheese sticks in basket being very careful not to touch each other. Bake at 400 ° for 6-8 minutes until crispy and golden.
- Yummy cheesy goodness right here. Serve with your favorite low carb marinara sauce. Enjoy friends!
