Equipment for this recipe
Here I’m using the Gourmia 5 in 1 smokeless grill and air fryer. But, virtually any air fryer can be used to make this recipe. The size of the basket will limit the amount of sticks you can add to the air fryer at a time since you want the sticks to be spread out instead of one on top the other.
How to make air fryer frozen mozzarella sticks
Step 1: Preheat the air fryer at 375°F. You can use lower temperatures like 350°F, but the sticks will take a bit longer to become melty and gooey. For higher temperatures, your cook time will reduce but the sticks may become overly melted. My air fryer takes about 2 minutes to preheat.
Step 2: Add the frozen mozzarella sticks carefully and quickly to the hot air fryer basket. You will want to leave enough space between the sticks to allow for proper air flow. Place the basket into the air fryer.
Step 3: Air fry for 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 4: Open the air fryer lid and, using a tongs, carefully flip the sticks over. Close the lid.
Step 5: Cook the mozzarella sticks for another 4 to 5 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce like marinara or a ranch dipping sauce. Yum!
