Scale
Main Ingredients
- 10 mozzarella sticks, frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit (198 degrees Celsius). Prepare the basket by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper or foil once the air fryer is preheated to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the Mozzarella Sticks: Place the frozen mozzarella sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure to leave enough space around each stick to allow the hot air to circulate evenly for crispy results.
- Cook the Mozzarella Sticks: Air fry the mozzarella sticks for 7 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure an even crisp on all sides.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the mozzarella sticks from the air fryer basket and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or BBQ sauce.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model; start checking a minute or two early when trying a new brand.
- Feel free to serve with a variety of dipping sauces like ranch, buffalo sauce, or blue cheese dip.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, bake the mozzarella sticks at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 minutes until warm and crispy, though they are best fresh out of the air fryer.
