Instructions

Preheat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F. (183 C).
Place cheese sticks in the air fryer: Carefully place frozen mozzarella sticks in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook: Air fry frozen cheese sticks for 4 minutes. Flip them, and air fry them for another 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Ideally, you want to ensure they hold their shape, but a few might open up.
Remove and serve: Carefully remove them from the air fryer onto a plate and serve with your choice of dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

If you’re in need of a sauce recipe to pair as a side dish with your frozen mozzarella sticks recipe, try my
Basil and Tomato Sauce
or this yummy and easy
Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing
. Alternatively, you can serve it with your favorite store-bought marinara sauce.
Cook time: The results may differ depending on the air fryer you are using. For best results, use this recipe as a starting point, test it with a few frozen mozzarella sticks, and adjust the time accordingly.
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
To reheat mozzarella sticks in the air fryer, set it to 360 degrees F and cook the cheese sticks for 3-4 minutes, turning them halfway through. Keep a close eye on them as they reheat, as they may split open if you heat them for too long.

Gauging doneness: Do not skip the step where you flip them halfway through, as this step is important to gauge doneness. At that stage, if you see them opening up too fast, you might have to shorten the timing.
