Air Fryer Mozzarella Sticks

Step 1

Cut each piece of string cheese in half and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Whisk the eggs in a second bowl and add the flour to a third bowl.

Step 4

Dip each piece of cheese into the flour, then the egg, then the bread crumb mixture. Be sure it is fully coated each time.

Step 5

Dip the coated mozzarella stick back into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture again.

Step 6

Spray air fryer basket with olive oil using an oil mister (**do NOT use aerosol cooking spray, as it can damage the inside of the basket**).

Step 7

Place mozzarella sticks in air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd, and air fry at 400° for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Watch carefully to be sure they don't overcook!

Step 8

Repeat as necessary until all mozzarella sticks are done.
