Steps
- 1
Set up three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, breadcrumbs with garlic powder.
- 2
Coat each stick: flour → egg → breadcrumbs → egg → breadcrumbs again (double coat is essential).
- 3
Freeze on parchment-lined tray for at least 1 hour. Do not skip this.
- 4
Spray frozen sticks with oil. Air fry at 390°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway.
Tip: NEVER skip freezing — it's what prevents the cheese from melting out before the coating crisps.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 8 minutes vs ~13 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🫒Uses up to 80% less oil than deep frying, bringing this down to 290 calories per serving.
- ✨Achieves the same golden, crispy texture without submerging food in oil.
