Ingredients

• 1 (225g) block low-moisture mozzarella cheese (not fresh mozzarella, it’s too wet), cut into ½-inch thick sticks, about 2-3 inches long.

• For the Breading:
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten with 1 tbsp milk or water
• 1 cup plain breadcrumbs (Panko breadcrumbs recommended for extra crunch)
• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
• ½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
• Pinch of salt and black pepper
• Cooking spray or 1-2 tsp olive oil for light coating (optional, for extra crispness)

Method

STEP 01

Prepare & Freeze Mozzarella

Cut your mozzarella block into sticks. Arrange them in a single layer on a plate and freeze for at least 30 minutes.

STEP 02

Set Up Breading Station

Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk/water, and one with seasoned breadcrumbs (garlic powder, oregano/Italian seasoning, salt, pepper). Dredge frozen mozzarella sticks in flour, dip in egg, roll in breadcrumbs, repeat egg and breadcrumbs for a double coat, then freeze again for 15–30 minutes.

Step 03

Preheat & Air Fry

Preheat your SNAPCHEF AI Air Fryer to 190°C (375°F) for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the frozen, breaded mozzarella sticks in a single layer, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. Lightly spray the tops of the sticks with cooking spray.

step 04

Cook & Serve

Air fry for 6-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through (around the 3-5 minute mark), until golden brown and the cheese is just beginning to melt and get gooey. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
