Ingredients

  • 8 mozzarella sticks
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add the flour to a shallow bowl. In another, whisk eggs together until smooth. In a third bowl, mix together the salt, Italian seasoning, and cornflakes.
  2. Step 2: Dip each mozzarella stick into the flour, followed by the egg and then the cornflakes.
  3. Step 3: Once all the sticks have been breaded, place them on a pan and freeze for at least 1 hour.
  4. Step 4: Preheat the air fryer to 375℉.
  5. Step 5: Spray the mozzarella sticks with cooking spray and air fry for 4 minutes. Be sure none of the sticks are touching.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Freeze the breaded mozzarella sticks for at least 1 hour to prevent the cheese from melting too quickly and leaking out during cooking.
  • Make sure the sticks don’t touch in the air fryer for even cooking and crispiness.
