Baked Mozzarella Sticks

Author: Lauren Kelly

Ingredients

  • 1 package of 12 mozzarella sticks I used fresh ones from Trader Joe's, sliced in half to make 24 pieces
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • ½ cup ground flax or flaxseed meal
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Spray with organic cooking spray and place cheese sticks on top. Place tray in freezer until sticks harden (this is crucial for preventing the gooey mess)
  • Place beaten egg in a medium bowl.
  • In another medium bowl, mix together remaining ingredients.
  • Remove cheese sticks from freezer when they are frozen solid.
  • Place each stick in egg mixture, then in the flax mixture making sure each stick is well coated. Lay onto parchment paper lined baking sheet sprayed with organic cooking spray
  • Place cheese sticks back in freezer again until they are frozen solid.
  • Remove from freezer, place frozen, breaded sticks into prepared oven and cook for about 3 minutes, until crispy. You must continue to check on them and take them out before they turn into the gooey mess. After 3 minutes, you can turn over and cook on there side for a minute or two.
  • Serve immediately with marinara sauce or favorite dipping sauce.
