Vegan Mozzarella Sticks

Steps

1. 1

   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Prepare a batch of Shreddable Vegan Mozzarella, or get out another store bought vegan mozzarella block, and cut into sticks 2-3 inches long, 1/2 inch wide.

3. 3

   Gather 3 shallow bowls. In the first, add the flour. In the second, whisk the almond milk and cornstarch. In the third, stir the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning and garlic powder together.

4. 4

   Dip each cheese stick into the flour to coat, then into the milk/cornstarch, then into the bowl with the breadcrumbs and pat to coat the cheese stick. Use one hand for the dry bowls, and your other hand for the wet bowl.

5. 5

   Place onto the lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour. This is so that the cheese won’t melt before the crumbs get crispy! Overnight works as well.

6. 6

   To fry: After freezing, get out a large pot and fill it with oil 2-3 inches deep. Use a thermometer to make sure the oil is heated to 175°C, then place the cheese sticks in the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate.

7. 7

   Or bake: After freezing, preheat the oven to 220°C. Remove the pan from the freezer and spray the tops of the sticks with oil. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until the cheese is warm and the outside is golden.

8. 8

   Serve with marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!
