Equipment
  • air fryer
Ingredients
  • 12 Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 Large Eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups Italian Breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Cooking Spray
  • Marinara Sauce for dipping
Instructions
  • Cut cheese sticks in half and freeze for at least 1 hour (this prevents them from melting too quickly).
  • Set up three bowls: flour in first, beaten eggs in second, and breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in third.
  • Coat each frozen cheese stick in flour, dip in egg, then roll in breadcrumb mixture. Dip in egg again, then breadcrumbs again for double coating.
  • Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange mozzarella sticks in a single layer without touching and spray tops generously.
  • Air fry at 390°F for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce.
