Air Fryer Mozzarella Sticks
These easy homemade air fryer mozzarella sticks are crispy, golden, and oozing with melty cheese.
Ingredients
- 8 mozzarella cheese strings
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Cut each cheese string in half to make shorter sticks. Transfer to a plate and freeze for 30 minutes (this will prevent them from leaking when air-frying).
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- In a separate dish, combine the breadcrumbs and Italian seasoning.
- Dredge the cheese in the egg wash and shake off any excess. Transfer to the breadcrumbs and coat all over.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the cheese sticks in the basket. Spray with oil and air-fry for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Serve with marinara sauce!
