Equipment

Air Fryer

Ingredients

12 mozzarella cheese sticks frozen
sauce for serving: marinara, ranch, or bbq sauce

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
Add cheese sticks into the air fryer in a single layer, make sure they aren't overlapping. You may need to cook in batches if you need more.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, setting a timer to flip the mozzarella cheese sticks over halfway through cooking time.
Let the cheese sticks cool a little before enjoying. Serve with marinara (doctored up version in notes) or your favorite sauce.

Notes

No extra oil is needed to make these breaded cheese sticks.
Don't stack the frozen cheese sticks in air fryer, make sure to lay them in a single layer.
Cooked cheese sticks will last about 3 days in an air tight container in the fridge.

To Make a Simple Doctored up Store Bought Marinara (I like RAO)

Pour 1 cup of marinara into a bowl.
Add in 1/4 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper, a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of red wine vinegar (optional).
Mix together and serve with cheese sticks.
