Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 10 mozzarella sticks, frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit (198 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for cooking the mozzarella sticks evenly and crisply.
- Prepare the Basket: Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper or foil after preheating to prevent the mozzarella sticks from sticking.
- Arrange Mozzarella Sticks: Place the frozen mozzarella sticks in a single layer inside the basket. Leave enough space around each stick to allow hot air to circulate entirely for even cooking.
- Air Fry the Sticks: Cook the mozzarella sticks for 7 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure all sides become golden and crispy without melting the cheese out.
- Serve: Carefully remove the mozzarella sticks from the air fryer basket. Serve immediately while hot and gooey with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Different air fryer brands may vary in temperature and cooking time. Use this recipe as a guideline and check the mozzarella sticks a minute or two earlier or later if needed.
- Feel free to serve with various dipping sauces like ranch, BBQ, buffalo sauce, or blue cheese dip for added flavor.
- Store leftover mozzarella sticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness and melted cheese.
- For best taste and texture, enjoy mozzarella sticks fresh out of the air fryer.
