Ingredients

Sticks
12 mozzarella string cheese
½ cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 tsp garlic powder
Serving
Warm marinara sauce

Equipment

  • Oil Sprayer Mister
  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Set up three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, breadcrumbs with garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Coat each stick: flour → egg → breadcrumbs → egg → breadcrumbs again (double coat is essential).

  3. 3

    Freeze on parchment-lined tray for at least 1 hour. Do not skip this.

  4. 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.
