5 mozzarella cheese sticks
1 tablespoon almond meal
½ teaspoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch of salt
⅓ cup liquid egg whites
½ cup coconut oil

- For best results, freeze cheese sticks overnight.

- Repeat coating process with remaining cheese sticks.
- Frying
- In a medium frying pan, heat coconut oil over medium-high.
- Using a cooking thermometer, heat oil to 325°F. If oil begins to smoke, it’s too hot.
