Description

Crispy air fryer mozzarella sticks that are gooey on the inside and perfect for game days or movie nights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 mozzarella sticks (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (seasoned or plain)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
  2. Set up three bowls: one with flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each mozzarella stick into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Place the coated mozzarella sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer and lightly spray them with cooking spray.
  5. Air fry for about 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy, keeping an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
  6. Serve immediately with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

For best results, freeze the assembled sticks before air frying and do not overcrowd the basket.
