Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Breadcrumbs
- 1 pk. Cheese Sticks
- 2 tsp. Dried Parsley
- 2 tsp. Garlic Powder
- 2 ½ tsp. Dried Basil
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 tsp. Chili Powder
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Olive oil Spray for frying.
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the eggs and set aside. Next, mixed all the dry ingredients together.
- Dip the cheese sticks (a couple at a time) in the egg mixture, then coat them with the breadcrumbs mixture. For a thicker coating you may repeat the process by dipping again in the egg mixture, back again in the breadcrumbs. Add them in the air fryer basket (no more than 6 at a time).
- Spray them with olive oil. Then fry for 1-2 minutes on 400 degrees. 2-4 minutes if double coated.

Notes
Mozzarella Sticks Recipe Notes:
- These mozzarella sticks come together perfectly when done correctly in the air fryer. I recommend cooking them in 1 minute intervals to avoid the cheese melting out.
- If double coated or using frozen mozzarella, cook 2-4 minutes while checking every 2 minutes to avoid from melting the cheese.
- This recipe works well if you choose to deep fry the sticks. Follow the instructions for mixing the ingredients, then deep fry the mozzarella sticks in hot cooking oil for 2 minutes or until golden brown.
- The beauty of these mozzarella cheese sticks is that they are customizable. A lighter alternative is to oven bake the cheese sticks as opposed to deep fry them.
