Whether you’re transitioning to veganism or just looking for a tasty treat, these mozzarella sticks are sure to hit the spot.

The key to achieving that perfect crispiness is in the double coating technique—coating the mozzarella sticks with breadcrumbs, soaking them in plant-based milk, and repeating the process.

Plus, the addition of Gondino Parmesan takes the flavor to a whole new level, giving them that signature cheesy flavor you love.

Fun Fact About Vegan Mozzarella: Did you know there are so many varieties of vegan mozzarella out there made from plant-based ingredients like cashews, coconut oil, and tapioca starch? It's designed to mimic the stretchy, melty texture of traditional mozzarella, making it perfect for recipes like these vegan mozzarella sticks.

Ingredients:

• Vegan mozzarella (sliced into sticks)
• Flour
• Breadcrumbs
• Plant-based milk
• Salt, pepper, paprika, smoked paprika, dried parsley, onion powder
• Gondino parmesan, grated
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mozzarella:
   Cut the vegan mozzarella into slices and shape them like sticks.
2. Coat the Mozzarella:
   Mix all the dry ingredients (flour, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, paprika, smoked paprika, dried parsley, and onion powder) in one bowl. In a separate bowl, pour some plant-based milk. Coat the vegan mozzarella sticks in the breadcrumb mixture, soak them in the plant-based milk, then repeat the process twice for a thick, sturdy coating. This helps the mozzarella stay intact while frying.
3. Fry the Sticks:
   Heat oil in a deep pan. Once the oil is hot, gently drop the vegan mozzarella sticks into the pan and fry them until golden brown and crispy
4. Cool and Serve:
   Let the mozzarella sticks cool slightly, and enjoy them with your favorite dips!
