Ingredients

10 mozzarella sticks
marinara sauce or sauce of your choice to serve with
~½ tablespoon grated parmesan cheese to garnish, I use a combination of ½ tablespoon grated parmesan cheese + ¼ teaspoon of Italian seasoning + a pinch of chili flakes
parsley to garnish

Instructions

Place the frozen mozzarella sticks in the air fryer basket and spread out evenly in a single layer. Make sure the mozzarella sticks are not touching. No oil spray is needed.
Air fry at 375°F for 6-7 minutes OR until the cheese nearly starts to ooze out. While they are cooking gently shake or turn the mozzarella sticks to ensure even browning about every 2 minutes.
Make sure to let them cool for a few minutes before eating to ensure you don't burn your mouth or tongue. The cheese can be super hot! Repeat step 2 with remaining mozzarella sticks if needed. Serve with your favorite dip and garnish with parsley and grated parmesan cheese.

Notes

Don't Overlap/Overcrowd: in the basket or they might not cook evenly. Placing too much food in the basket will prevent your food from crisping and browning.

All Air Fryers are Different: make sure to check your mozzarella sticks occasionally until you reach your desired toastiness.

Shake the Basket During Cooking: you’ll want to shake the basket every few minutes to ensure even cooking.
