Mozzarella cheese sticks are never a bad idea, ever. I make these air fryer appetizers all the time because they literally take less than 10 minutes to do. Just make sure for the best results, you spray your air fryer basket with nonstick spray.

FAQS
What do you serve with crispy mozzarella sticks?
Pairing with your favorite dipping sauce is always a great idea. (or your favorite marinara sauce!) I also think that cooking up some frozen chicken tenders always pairs well, too! Why not cook some more easy air fryer recipes while you’re at it? (Air fryer pizza rolls are great, as well!)
When is the best time to make this quick snack?
I love to make these during football season and also as an easy appetizer on the weekends. The kids love them – and I do, too!
What side dishes pair best with air fryer mozzarella sticks?
Melty cheese pairs best with anything! French fries are a winning choice, chicken nuggets, and literally, any frozen foods would be great, too. Since the air fryer cooks faster than a conventional oven, you’ll have plenty of gooey cheese to enjoy with each and every bite.

Haven’t made any recipes yet as I just ordered an air fryer. Your recipes look really good but how do I pare them down to 1 or 2 servings? Just lost my husband and am tring to lose weight and change to healthier eating. thank you. Maryann [email protected]
need more information to cook for one or two
I am so sorry for your loss. If you want to pair this down to a smaller serving, you can definitely do that. You may need to adjust the cooking time to use LESS time if you are not filling up the basket as it will cook faster.
