Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by cutting each piece of string cheese in half crosswise, creating manageable sticks that will be perfect for dipping. Lay them out on a parchment-lined tray, ensuring they're not touching.
- In a small bowl, beat the large egg until well mixed and frothy. In a zipper bag, combine almond flour, coconut flour, salt, garlic powder, and paprika, sealing the bag tightly. Shake the bag gently until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Take each cheese stick, dip it into the beaten egg, then place in the flour mixture bag and shake vigorously until coated.
- Arrange the coated cheese sticks back onto the parchment-lined tray and place them in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
- Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat until it reaches 325-375°F, or preheat your air fryer to 370-400°F.
- Carefully add the frozen cheese sticks to the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, or air fry for 5-7 minutes until crispy.
- Remove the cheese sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain. Serve hot with marinara sauce or ranch dressing.

Notes
Ensure each cheese stick is well-coated in the flour mixture and freeze properly to achieve the best texture when frying.
