Ingredients
- 10 mozzarella sticks, frozen
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit (198 degrees Celsius) to ensure it's hot before cooking the mozzarella sticks.
- Prepare Basket: Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper or foil once preheated to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Mozzarella Sticks: Place the frozen mozzarella sticks in a single layer inside the prepared basket, leaving space between them for proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Air Fry Cheese Sticks: Cook the mozzarella sticks for 7 minutes total, flipping them halfway through at about 3 to 4 minutes to ensure even crispiness.
- Serve: Carefully remove the mozzarella sticks from the air fryer and serve immediately with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Air fryer models differ; check mozzarella sticks a minute or two early when using a different brand to avoid overcooking.
- Use any dipping sauce you prefer such as Ranch, BBQ, Buffalo, blue cheese dip, or marinara sauce for a classic flavor.
- Store leftover mozzarella sticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is hot and the coating is crispy.
- For best taste and texture, enjoy mozzarella sticks fresh out of the air fryer.
