HOMEMADE MOZZARELLA STICKS

One of my all-time favorite appetizers is mozzarella sticks!  I love the crispy outside and the warm, gooey inside.  They are especially delicious with a nice, zesty marinara sauce.  We often get these when we go out to eat as a family.  I has never occurred to me to try to make homemade mozzarella sticks.  It just seemed like to much of a hassle to try to fry them.  Also, I’ve never owned a deep fryer (and probably never will!).  But with the invention of the oil-free hot air fryer, I have discovered a ton of great hot air frying recipes that I can’t wait to try.  These tasty homemade mozzarella sticks are one of the recipes that I am most excited about

INGREDIENTS
  • 16 oz 6-8 pieces String Cheese

  3. Add crushed pork rinds to a separate bowl.
  4. Dip string cheese in egg, then pork rinds, then egg again and pork rinds again.
  5. Place the cheese sticks in the air fryer in a single layer.
  6. Cook in batches.
