Ready to take your snack game up a notch? These Air Fryer Garlic & Herb Mozzarella Sticks are a crispy, golden dream with a gooey, cheesy center. Coated with Louisiana Fish Fry’s Garlic & Herb Seasoned Coating Mix, they’re packed with boldly seasoned flavor that’s anything but ordinary. The best part? They’re air-fried to perfection, so you get that crave-worthy crunch without the guilt.

Ingredients

Optional:

  • Marinara sauce (for dipping)
  • Ranch (for dipping)

Directions

  1. Place halved cheese sticks into a resealable, freezer-safe plastic bag and freeze for at least 30 minutes, until frozen.
  2. Pour flour into a resealable plastic bag and set aside. In a shallow dish, add the beaten egg mixture. In another shallow dish, pour the Air Fryer Garlic & Herb Seasoned Coating Mix.
  3. Add the frozen cheese sticks to the flour bag, seal, and shake until well coated. Remove the cheese sticks from the flour mixture, shake off excess flour, and dip them into the egg mixture. Let the excess egg drip back into the dish, then press firmly into the coating mix until fully coated.
  4. Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour until re-frozen.
  5. Once frozen, place the mozzarella sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, careful not to overcrowd. Air fry at 370°F for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with marinara and ranch for dipping. Enjoy!

And in the spring use apricots, strawberries or rhubarb.
