Main Ingredients
- 10 frozen mozzarella sticks
- Nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper or foil (for air fryer basket)
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit (198 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the proper high temperature for crispy mozzarella sticks.
- Prepare Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper or foil after preheating to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Mozzarella Sticks: Place the frozen mozzarella sticks in a single layer in the basket, making sure to leave space between them so hot air can circulate evenly for best crispiness.
- Air Fry: Cook the frozen mozzarella sticks in the air fryer for 7 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the cooking time to brown both sides evenly.
- Serve: Carefully remove the mozzarella sticks from the basket and serve immediately with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Air fryer models vary; start checking mozzarella sticks a minute or two before the end of cooking time if using a different brand than Cosori 5.8qt.
- Try a variety of dipping sauces such as Ranch, BBQ, Buffalo, Blue cheese, or classic marinara.
- 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 crispy and cheese is gooey.
- For best texture and flavor, enjoy mozzarella sticks fresh out of the air fryer.
