Ingredients
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs, beaten
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (I recommend Italian seasoned for extra flavor)
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 12 mozzarella sticks (string cheese)
– Cooking spray
Equipment Needed
– Air fryer
– Three shallow bowls (for the dredging)
– Zip-top bag or large plate (for freezing the cheese)
– Cooking spatula
Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, let’s prepare our mozzarella sticks! Begin by cutting each string cheese stick in half, making them more manageable for snacking. I usually line them up on a plate to keep things organized. Next, set up your dredging station: one bowl with all-purpose flour, the second with the beaten eggs, and the third with a mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. It’s like an assembly line of cheesy goodness! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
