Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 200 g Mozzarella cheese sticks regular or light, dry
- 50 g All-purpose flour for dredging
- 1 piece Egg beaten, for egg wash
- 100 g Breadcrumbs seasoned or panko for crunch
- 15 ml Olive oil for spraying
Instructions
- Start by patting dry the mozzarella sticks to avoid sogginess.
- Dredge each stick in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat with breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs gently to seal the edges.
- Chill the sticks for at least 30 minutes to set the coating.
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
- Arrange the sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring there's space between them.
- Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
Notes
Tip: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer to ensure the coating gets crispy instead of steamy.
