Description
Crispy on the outside and oozy on the inside, these Air Fryer Mozzarella Sticks are a healthier alternative to traditional frying, perfect for sharing or indulging alone.
Ingredients
- 8 Mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup Flour
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning and salt.
- Dip each mozzarella stick in the flour, then the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
Ensure cheese sticks are frozen for at least 30 minutes before breading to prevent melting during cooking. Experiment with different cheese varieties and breading types for unique flavors.
