I have used Trader Joe’s mozzarella sticks here, but any brand from the frozen section of your grocery store works fine.
Air Fryer Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 360F or 180C for 5 minutes.
Lay the frozen mozzarella sticks in one layer without overlapping in the air fryer basket.
I do not spray with oil because frozen sticks already have oil.
Air fry at 360F or 180C for about 6-8 minutes.
No need to flip them.
As soon as they are golden and crunchy with melty cheese inside, they are done.
Take them out and serve hot.
Notes
Avoid Overcrowding: Do keep enough space around mozzarella sticks so that they can air fry evenly.Overlapping or stacking will result on soggy or undercooked mozzarella sticks.Supervise towards the end: I often end up with oozing mozzarella cheese which frankly I don’t mind.Just watch it in the last minute or two for perfect crispness.
Serve Immediately: These mozzarella sticks taste the best when served immediately after cooking.
