Description

Delicious and crispy mozzarella sticks made easily in an air fryer, perfect for snacking or as an appetizer.


Ingredients

  • Mozzarella cheese sticks
  • Flour
  • Egg
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Italian seasoning
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
  2. Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning in a third bowl.
  3. Dip each mozzarella stick first in flour, then in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
  4. Arrange the breaded mozzarella sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  5. Cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve immediately with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Freeze breaded sticks for 30 minutes before cooking for better shape retention. Don’t overcrowd the basket for even cooking.
