Dipping sauce for Mozzarella sticks

For me, I am all about the dipping sauce and I tend to stick tried and true to the marinara sauce. 

However, you can always do ranch, honey mustard, guacamole, and maybe even a queso or salsa option too!

How to make Frozen Mozzarella Sticks in the Air Fryer:

Step 1: Put in the air fryer

To make the mozzarella sticks, place them in the cold air fryer in a single layer. You can choose to make as many as you want as long as there is room in the air fryer.

Step 2: Cook mozzarella sticks

Then, air fry the mozzarella sticks at 380 degrees F or 193 degrees C for 5-8 minutes, flipping at the halfway point, or until they are crispy and the cheese is melted to your liking.

Then carefully use tongs to remove the cheese sticks, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
