Homemade Mozzarella Sticks: A Healthier Recipe

April 3, 2015 by Christy Gossett 5 Comments

Homemade Mozzarella Sticks that are lower in carbs and sodium than traditional recipes #SoFab

Lower Carb and Sodium Homemade Mozzarella Sticks and Marinara

Mozzarella Sticks are a delicious snack, party appetizer, or side dish for your favorite Italian meal, but traditional recipes are high in sodium and carbs. The typical frozen mozzarella sticks contain 17 grams of carbs and about 600 mg of sodium per 3-piece serving. That’s a lot! Rather than skipping this cheesy goodness, you can easily make your own delicious mozzarella sticks at home without all of the added carbs and sodium.

Homemade Mozzarella Sticks

This recipe for mozzarella sticks is a lower carb and sodium alternative to traditional recipes.
Author: Christy from Insanity Is Not An Option
Recipe type: Appetizer
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 12 sticks
Ingredients
  • 1-8 oz block Mozzarella Cheese
  • ⅛ Cup Bread Flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp Lactose Free Milk
  • ½ Cup Bread Crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning
Instructions
  1. Cut the block of cheese in half, then cut into 12 equal planks (4 blocks long-ways, then 3 planks per block).
  2. Place the flour into a bowl.
  3. Whisk the egg and milk in another bowl.
  4. Pour the bread crumbs and seasoning on a plate.
  5. Roll each cheese plank first in flour, then dredge in egg mixture, then cover with breading.
  6. Place the breaded cheese sticks on a plate and put them uncovered in the freezer for about a half an hour. This will help the “breading” set in and the cheese to harden a bit.
  7. Preheat your oven to 425º.
  8. Remove the cheese sticks from the freezer, place them on a non-stick pan, and spray the mozzarella sticks with cooking oil.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on your oven.

A 3-piece serving of these homemade mozzarella sticks has 5-10 grams of carbs (depending on the type of bread crumbs you use) and around 70 mg of sodium which means you can basically double up the number you eat and still not reach the amount of carbs or sodium you would if you bought frozen.

    You know how to make them even lower in carbs? Cut the flour and bread crumbs out completely use parmesan cheese and crunched pork rinds or you can make cheese chips and put them through the food processor. Fry them in Bacon grease BAM! :) I love low carb, even though this you would consider is lower in carbs, it's not to me because it has grains in it. I cannot have them at all! So I couldn't even consider this low carb.

      The post doesn't say it is LOW carb, just lower in carbs than traditional recipes, restaurant varieties, and frozen sticks. It's a way to indulge occasionally with LESS carbs than most people are accustomed to. I hope this helps to clarify. Thanks for reaching out!
