Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice each mozzarella stick in half to create 16 smaller pieces.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Wrap a slice of bacon around each half mozzarella stick, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
  4. Roll each bacon-wrapped stick in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating.
  5. Place the coated sticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for even cooking.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and cheese is oozing.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
