Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure perfect crispiness.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko crumbs, flour, finely ground parmesan cheese, and kosher salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly to create an egg wash.
Dip each mozzarella stick in the egg wash, then roll in the panko mixture, pressing gently.
Place the coated mozzarella sticks on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Let them cool slightly, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
