Crispy Air Fryer Mozzarella Sticks: The Ultimate Homemade Snack You’ll Crave Again And Again!

There’s something irresistible about mozzarella sticks — that crunchy coating, the molten cheese stretching with every bite, and that satisfying dip into a rich marinara sauce. But let’s be honest: the deep-fried version doesn’t always love us back. That’s exactly why this air fryer version is a game changer.

I still remember the first time I tried making these mozzarella sticks in the air fryer. My husband walked into the kitchen, drawn by the aroma, and said, “There’s no way those are homemade.” I handed him one straight from the basket. One bite in and he was hooked — and skeptical. “You air fried these?” Yes, I did. No oil splatter, no mess, just golden cheesy perfection. And now, I’m sharing the magic with you.
