Ingredients

  • 10 mozzarella cheese sticks frozen

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Place the frozen mozzarella sticks in a single layer in the basket.
  • Do not overcrowd and do not thaw before cooking.
  • Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 5–6 minutes.
  • Check at the 4-minute mark to prevent cheese from leaking.
  • Remove once golden and crisp.
  • Let rest for 1–2 minutes before serving. The cheese inside will be very hot.

Notes

  • Crowding leads to uneven cooking and possible cheese leaks.
  • If cheese starts to ooze, remove immediately they’re already done.
  • For extra crispiness, lightly spray the sticks with oil before cooking.
