Crispy Mozzarella Sticks with Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce
Ingredients:
1 lb mozzarella cheese, cut into sticks
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
Sweet chili sauce (for dipping)
Instructions:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure everything is well combined.
In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a separate mixing bowl.
Dip each mozzarella stick into the beaten egg, then coat it evenly with the panko breadcrumbs. Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the mozzarella sticks in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the Crispy Mozzarella Sticks hot, accompanied by a small bowl of sweet chili sauce for dipping. This dish is perfect for a satisfying snack or appetizer that combines the delightful crunch of fried mozzarella with the sweet, tangy flavors of sweet chili sauce. Enjoy your delicious Crispy Mozzarella Sticks!
