Crispy Mozzarella Sticks in Air Fryer with Marinara Sauce
Breaded mozzarella sticks cooked in an air fryer until golden and crispy, served with marinara sauce.
🥘 Ingredients
mozzarella sticks (string cheese) — 8 pieces
beaten eggs — 2
breadcrumbs — 1 cup (approx. 100g)
Italian seasoning — 1 teaspoon
marinara sauce (for serving, to taste)
👨🍳 Steps
1Cut each mozzarella stick in half. Dip each piece in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning.
2Place the breaded mozzarella sticks in the freezer for 30 minutes to prevent the cheese from melting too quickly during cooking.
3Preheat the air fryer to 182°C (360°F).
4Arrange the mozzarella sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy.
5Serve immediately, hot, with marinara sauce for dipping.
