Mozzarella sticks are a classic party food. They are cheesy, crispy, and crunchy - the perfect combination of flavors and textures. Frozen mozzarella sticks can be served as a no-mess appetizer or snack with marinara sauce for dipping.
Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes at 360 degrees F.
Place the frozen mozzarella sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to pack them in too tight. This allows the air to circulate around the pieces.
Close the air fryer and air fry frozen cheese sticks for 5 to 8 minutes at 360 °F
At the halfway mark, open the air fryer and shake the basket to turn the mozzarella sticks, or use a pair of tongs.
Mozzarella sticks can start splitting when they're overcooking. Take them out before they get to that stage.
Notes
Note: Every air fryer's cooking time will vary due to wattage, capacity, and other factors. Always check on the food 2 to 3 minutes before the time is up to make sure it's not burning or overcooking!
