Mozzarella Sticks – Egg Less And Baked

Mozzarella sticks is one of my son’s favorite snack and he has ordered it many times for lunch as well from the kid’s menu in restaurants. Just because he loves them, I have a batch of frozen mozzarella sticks in my freezer that I heat up in the oven and give it as snack for the boys.

Ingredients

5 Mozzarella string cheese cut into half
⅓ cup All purpose flour
2 tablespoon Corn flour
¾ cup Panko bread crumbs can use regular bread crumbs as well
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning + ½ tsp
½ teaspoon Garlic powder
to taste Salt
as needed Pepper
Oil to brush the stickss

Instructions

Take 2 wide bowls and in one of the bowl add the panko crumbs with some salt, pepper and ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Mix it well and keep it aside.
In the second bowl, add the corn flour, all purpose flour, salt, 1 teaspoon of seasoning, garlic powder and pepper. Mix it well and add just enough water to make a smooth batter.
Take the mozzarella cheese and cut them into half.
Take a piece of cheese and coat it in the batter. Now coat the cheese with the bread crumbs. Transfer the cheese to the batter again and then back to bread crumbs. Double coating the cheese ensures that the cheese is completely coated and it gives a crunchy crust.
Layer the coated cheese sticks on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer for couple of hours. If baking after couple of hours, we can take it out of the freezer and bake it right away. If baking later, we can transfer the frozen sticks in a freezer bag and store it.
Preheat the oven to 400 f. Lightly brush the sticks with oil and then bake for 18 to 20 minutes, turning the sticks over couple of times for even browning.
Serve the mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce on
