In the air fryer, you can make homemade mozzarella sticks that are crispy and gooey. You can serve these tasty treats at parties or as an appetizer at any event. To make them taste even better, serve them with a classic marinara dip.
Ingredients: 12 sticks of mozzarella cheese cut into 3-inch pieces. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 2 large eggs beaten. 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1 teaspoon dried oregano. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cooking spray. 1 cup marinara sauce for dipping.
Instructions: Add Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to a small bowl and mix them together. First, coat each mozzarella stick in flour. Then, dip it in beaten eggs. Finally, cover it with the breadcrumb mixture. Cover mozzarella sticks with the sauce, put them on a baking sheet with parchment paper, and freeze them for 30 minutes. Get the air fryer ready by heating it up to 390F 200C. Use cooking spray on the air fryer basket. Make sure the frozen mozzarella sticks don't touch each other as you put them in the air fryer basket. For 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, cook in the air fryer while shaking it every so often. While that is going on, warm up the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Serve your homemade mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce on the side.
