Preparation:
Prep the Cheese Sticks: Cut the mozzarella cheese sticks in half if desired, or leave them whole. Freeze the cheese sticks for at least 1 hour to ensure they stay intact while cooking.
Set up Dipping Stations: In one shallow bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Coat the Cheese Sticks: Dip each frozen mozzarella stick first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Repeat for all cheese sticks.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Air Fry: Lightly spray the coated mozzarella sticks with cooking spray. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with marinara sauce for dipping.
Enjoy your crispy and cheesy Air-Fried Mozzarella Sticks!
