Note
  • For a crispier coating, double coat the mozzarella sticks by dipping them in the egg mixture and then the flaxseed meal mixture twice.
  • Ensure the oil is hot enough (around 375°F) before frying to prevent the cheese from melting too quickly.
  • To make the ranch dipping sauce keto-friendly, use Greek yogurt or sour cream as a base and season with ranch seasoning mix.
  • Feel free to customize the seasoning in the flaxseed meal mixture by adding herbs like oregano, basil, or garlic powder for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer a different texture, you can bake the mozzarella sticks in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  • These keto fried mozzarella sticks are best enjoyed immediately while the cheese is gooey and the coating is crispy.
