Ingredients In Gluten-Free Mozzarella Sticks
Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks: I used mozzarella string cheese sticks. You can also cut your own sticks from a mozzarella cheese block. For the dairy-free option use Miyokos Cashew Milk Mozzarella and slice into small pieces
Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs: The gluten-free bread crumbs are what gives the mozzarella sticks a crispy crust. Gluten-free Panko breadcrumbs has more texture than regular gluten-free breadcrumb, so it is the best choice for getting the crispiest crust. I used 4C gluten-free Panko breadcrumbs.
Grated Parmesan Cheese: This brings extra cheese flavor and crispiness to the mozzarella sticks. For the dairy-free option use Follow Your Heart dairy-free grated Parmesan.
Seasoning and Garlic Powder: These enhance the flavor of the cheese.
Gluten-Free Flour and Corn Starch: They help the eggs cling to the cheese sticks.
Eggs: They help the breading stick to the string cheese sticks.
