Air Fryer Mozzarella Sticks
Air Fryer Mozzarella Sticks
This easy 4 ingredient recipe for air fryer mozzarella sticks is fun to make with the kids and everyone loves these cheesy sticks. A winner of a recipe that’s for sure!
Since we got this new air fryer a few months ago, it’s been nonstop creating new and delicious recipes in it.
We all love the fact that we can have our food air fried and not deep fried.
It’s a healthier way of eating for sure. My 15 year old son reheats leftovers, and makes himself chicken nuggets and frozen french fries.
I’m not worried with him using the air fryer at all. I don’t let him use the oven so this is a great way for him to make himself something if I’m not around.
Oh, I think his favorite thing to make in the air fryer are homemade chocolate chip cookies.
He took a couple of my recipes and made the batter then, baked them in the air fryer.
The cookies were fantastic.
Anyway, getting to this scrumptious recipe, this happens to be one my daughter makes often.
She gave me the recipe recently and it was beyond easy to make.
A friend of mine also makes this exact recipe all the time for her family. It’s that good.
Check out how easy and simple it is below and then grab those 4 ingredients plus some marinara sauce or any dipping sauce for that matter.
To be honest, these are good on their own. Crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside without all the added fat and calories from frying.
