How to Make Frozen Mozzarella Sticks In Air Fryer

As I've mentioned several times now, the process of making mozzarella sticks in the air fryer is super straightforward, and super easy. In fact, all you need to follow are 2 steps and you're in business.

So, without further adieu, let's go over them.

Step 1: Prep

First things first preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200°C). 

Then, put the frozen mozzarella sticks on a plate and lightly spray them with some cooking spray. 

Step 2: Cooking & Serving 

Once the air fryer preheats, put the mozzarella sticks in the air fryer.

You'll want to make sure they are all lying flat and not touching one another. Having a little space will allow the cheese sticks to crisp up to golden perfection more evenly.

Now, let the mozzarella sticks air fry for about 7 minutes, flipping them halfway through. And you'll want to check at about the 5 minute mark to see how they're coming along. 

Then, when they've finished cooking, you can serve them immediately!

So, put these ooey-gooey sticks of cheesy goodness on a plate with some marinara sauce and dig in!

How To Store Mozzarella Sticks

Ok, so this recipe will make as many mozzarella sticks as you want! But typically, 12 come in one frozen package. 

And if you have any leftovers - which if you're making these for your kids you won't - you can transfer them to an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. 

Then, to reheat the mozzarella sticks, just put them back in the air fryer for a couple of minutes.

Wrapping It Up

Well, that is how to make frozen mozzarella sticks in the air fryer. Honestly, I think these are one of the best appetizers, snacks, or meals you can make if you're short on time, or are just craving some crispy and crunchy cheesiness. And the best part is kids will love these just as much as you - so you don't have to prepare two things! 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these air fryer mozzarella sticks as much as I/we do.

If you give them a try, let me know which ones you decided to use, and how you liked them!
