Gluten Free Baked Mozzarella Sticks Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE MOZZARELLA STICKS

Steps:

• Cut mozzarella cheese into 4x1-inch sticks.
• Place rice flour into a shallow dish. Whisk egg whites and egg together in another shallow dish. Mix bread crumbs with oregano, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and turmeric in a third dish.
• Dredge one mozzarella stick through the rice flour, making sure to cover all four sides and the ends. Tap off excess flour, then dip stick into the egg mixture; turn with a fork to coat completely. Drain off any excess egg. Dredge thoroughly through the rice flour and eggs again. Shake off excess, then roll into the bread crumb mixture. Dip once more into the eggs and coat with bread crumbs again, covering the ends to prevent the cheese from melting and leaking through. Place stick on a freezer-safe plate. Repeat process for each mozzarella stick.
• Cover the plate of mozzarella sticks with plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set the timer for another thirty minutes.
• Fill an oil sprayer with olive oil. Remove sticks from freezer and arrange on the prepared baking sheet; spray tops with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and close oven door; turn sticks over and spray with oil. Continue baking for 5 minutes more. Continue turning, spraying, and baking the remaining two sides, about 10 minutes more.

GLUTEN FREE MOZZARELLA STICKS (BAKED)

Steps:

• Start by getting the dipping station ready. In one bowl, add the flour, and then in a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs and seasonings.
• Lay parchment paper down on a large baking sheet.
• Now start the dredging process. Roll a cheese stick in the flour and shake off the excess. Next, dip the cheese stick in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Then roll the cheese stick in the breadcrumbs. Last, double dip the cheese stick back into the egg wash and roll one more time in the breadcrumbs. During this last step, I find it helpful to lightly press the breadcrumbs with my hands onto the cheese stick to form the coating.
• Place the prepared cheese stick onto the baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
• Repeat with the rest of the string cheese..
• Place the prepared mozzarella sticks into the freezer for at least an hour but preferably overnight.
• After the cheese sticks freeze, place into a plastic bag or continue with cooking.
• To cook the gluten free mozzarella sticks. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Brush half of the olive oil onto a baking sheet.
• Place the number of mozzarella sticks you want to cook onto the baking sheet and lightly brush more olive oil over the top of the mozzarella sticks.
• Bake the homemade mozzarella sticks for 9 - 10 minutes or until cheese is melty and golden brown.
• Sprinkle with fresh parsley (optional) and serve hot with gluten free marinara sauce (optional).
