AIR-FRIED MOZZARELLA STICKS

Instructions:

4. Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the mozzarella sticks for at least 30 minutes to firm up before air frying.

5. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

6. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the frozen mozzarella sticks in a single layer in the basket, making sure they are not touching each other.

7. Spray the tops of the mozzarella sticks with cooking spray to help them brown evenly.

8. Air fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for 6-8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the cheese is melted inside.

9. Remove the air-fried mozzarella sticks from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

10. Serve the air-fried mozzarella sticks hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
