Cut mozzarella cheese into sticks.

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for bread crumbs mixed with parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Dredge each cheese stick in flour, shaking off excess.

Dip the floured cheese stick into the beaten eggs, coating completely.

Roll the egg-coated cheese stick in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Repeat the process for all cheese sticks, then place them on a baking sheet.

Freeze the breaded cheese sticks for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.

Fry the cheese sticks in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the cheese sticks from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
