Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 10 mozzarella sticks, frozen
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit (198 degrees Celsius) to ensure the mozzarella sticks cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
- Prepare Basket: Spray the air fryer basket with a nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking after the air fryer is preheated.
- Arrange Mozzarella Sticks: Place the frozen mozzarella sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each stick for proper hot air circulation.
- Air Fry: Cook the mozzarella sticks for 7 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to achieve an even golden crust on all sides.
- Serve: Carefully remove the mozzarella sticks from the air fryer and serve immediately with marinara sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- Air fryer cooking times may vary by brand. Start checking the mozzarella sticks a minute or two before the stated cooking time when using a different air fryer.
- Try different dipping sauces like Ranch dressing, BBQ sauce, Buffalo sauce, or Blue cheese dip according to your taste preference.
- 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 to maintain crispness and melted cheese.
- For the best experience, enjoy mozzarella sticks fresh from the air fryer as reheated sticks may lose some crispiness.
