These are not your typical fish sticks . They taste so much better than the processed frozen variety, plus there are no preservatives or artificial ingredients! These Tilapia Sticks turn out moist on the inside and delightfully crispy on the outside and are sure to please both parents and kids. Serve as-is or with your choice of dipping sauce. Ingredients:
2 tilapia fillets, skinned and de-boned |
1 cup panko breadcrumbs |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon onion powder |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cooking spray |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon milk |
1 teaspoon ketchup |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Slice tilapia filets into 1-inch wide x 3-inch long sticks .
3. Into a shallow, wide bowl, place panko, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Stir until thoroughly combined.
4. In another shallow bowl, whisk egg. Then whisk in milk, ketchup, salt and pepper.
5. Lightly coat a medium-sized baking pan with cooking spray.
6. Dredge tilapia sticks in egg mixture, gently shake off excess liquid and drop into panko mixture. Pat mixture onto all sides of the fish and gently place onto baking pan, handling carefully as not to loose the coating.
