Gather three medium bowls. In the first add the flour and set aside. To the second add the egg and water and beat well. Set aside.
To the third add the bread crumbs, salt, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
Slice the cheese in to 4" by 1/2" slices. Working with one or two at a time, place them first into the flour, then the egg then the breadcrumbs pressing firmly.
Transfer the breaded sticks to a cookie sheet and freeze 2 1/2 hours or overnight if desired.
When ready to fry, heat the coconut oil in a 9" heavy skillet over medium high heat until it reaches 375 degrees. Add one or two cheesesticks at a time. They will fry fast so keep an eye on them.
Fry 2 minutes on each side then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm with your favorite marinara sauce.
