Ingredients
  

  • 200 g mozzarella cheese cut into sticks
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 150 g bread crumbs preferably panko
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your air fryer to 200°C.
  2. Set up a breading station: In one bowl, add the flour; in another, whisk the eggs; and in a third, mix bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each mozzarella stick first in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with the bread crumbs mixture.
  4. Place the coated sticks in the air fryer basket and spray them lightly with olive oil.
  5. Air fry for 6-8 minutes or until golden and crispy. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite marinara sauce!

Tip: For extra flavor, try adding some chili flakes to the bread crumb mixture!
