ingredients you need
What you need for these crispy mozzarella sticks:
- Gluten Free Breadcrumbs:For best results, use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs. These work best and create the ideal texture! I really like Ian's gluten free panko.
- Gluten Free Flour:You can use any type of gluten-free flour for this recipe. It does not necessarily have to be 1:1 wheat flour.
- Owner:I always use large eggs for this recipe!
- Mozzarella:While you can use pre-sliced mozzarella sticks, slicing real mozzarella cheese yourself gives you a meltier and more delicious mozzarella stick. I like to buy some of the low-fat mozzarella cheese.
How to make gluten free mozzarella sticks
- Halve the mozzarella block lengthwise. Then cut these halves into sticks about 1.5 cm thick.
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Set up 3 shells for a diving station.
- Gluten-free multipurpose flour
- Egg mix (eggs beaten smooth with a pinch of salt)
- gluten free panko bread
- Dip each cheese stick in the gluten-free flour, followed by the egg wash and finally the third bowl of the gluten-free breadcrumb mixture. Place each coated toothpick on the baking sheet.
- Freeze the mozzarella sticks on the baking sheet for at least two hours.
- In a heavy-bottomed 8-inch saucepan, heat oil of your choice to 365F. You want a few inches of oil in the pan.
- Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches (about 4-5 at a time) for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Turn once halfway.
- Drain off the excess oil from the cheese sticks on paper towels and serve immediately with the marinara sauce. Enjoy your gluten-free cheese sticks!
Storage Instructions
Save on computer:These mozzarella sticks are best consumed right after roasting, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
To advance:These mozzarella sticks can be made ahead of time. Just follow all the steps through to roast and store in the freezer until ready to roast.
frequently asked questions
Are there gluten-free mozzarella sticks?
Most mozzarella sticks are not gluten-free, as they are dipped in regular breadcrumbs or a gluten-containing batter. However, you can make your own gluten-free mozzarella sticks. I used gluten free breadcrumbs in my recipe!
Are Kraft Mozzarella Sticks gluten-free?
Kraft mozzarella cheese is gluten-free, but most fried mozzarella sticks are not.
Can Celiac Cheese Eat Mozzarella Cheese?
Yes, people with celiac disease can eat mozzarella cheese. Like most cheeses, it's naturally gluten-free!
Tips and tricks from experts
- You can use pre-cut cheese sticks to save time, but I've found that slicing a block of fresh mozzarella makes for meltier cheese sticks.
- This is a great appetizer as you can freeze the chopsticks before roasting them for up to a week or more!
- I've tried making these mozzarella sticks with many types of gluten-free breadcrumbs, but Ian's gluten-free panko breadcrumbs always come out best for a crunchy crust!
- Feel free to add more spices to the breadcrumbs if you like. You can add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, or black pepper for extra flavor.
