Ingredients
- 6 extra sharp white cheddar cheese sticks, cut in half
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp. almond milk
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Place the cashews, walnuts, and Italian seasoning in a food processor. Pulse on high until the nuts are finely ground, about the size of bread crumbs.
- Prepare the breading and egg wash in 3 separate dishes: Place the coconut flour in the first dish. In the second, whisk the egg with the almond milk and set aside. In the third bowl, pour the finely ground nut mixture from the food processor.
- Roll the cheese sticks- one at a time- in the coconut flour dish followed by the egg wash and finally the cashew/walnut “bread crumb” mixture. Place the breaded cheese sticks on a baking sheet.
- Freeze the breaded cheese sticks for 1-2 hours to prevent them from melting too much in the air fryer.
- Air fry the frozen cheese sticks for 8 minutes at 375F. Serve hot!
