Main Ingredients
- 10 sticks frozen mozzarella cheese sticks
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit (198 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature before cooking the mozzarella sticks.
- Prepare the basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking, but only after the air fryer is preheated.
- Arrange the cheese sticks: Place the frozen mozzarella sticks in a single layer in the basket. Make sure to leave space between them to allow hot air to circulate evenly for a crispy crust.
- Air fry the sticks: Cook the mozzarella sticks for 7 minutes at 390 degrees Fahrenheit, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure 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 favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Air fryer models vary in heating, so start checking your cheese sticks a minute or two earlier than the recommended time if using a different brand than the Cosori 5.8qt.
- Feel free to use any dipping sauce like Ranch, BBQ, Buffalo, Blue cheese, or marinara for serving.
- Store leftover mozzarella sticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and coating is crisp, though fresh is best.
