Fried mozzarella sticks in a crispy breading are a great appetizer for any occasion, whether it's a friendly beer party, a game, or a movie. And in an air fryer, you can fry them without adding any extra fat, resulting in sticks as crispy as deep-fried ones, with a gooey cheese inside that's sure to drive anyone crazy! You can even roll a few servings of cheese in the breading and freeze the sticks for a quick fry-up at any time and enjoy them dipped in tomato marinara sauce.
