Is Mozzarella cheese keto approved?

Mozzarella cheese has a total carb count of 1 gram per ounce making it a perfect keto friendly cheese.

Can you put frozen mozzarella sticks in an air fryer?

Yes you can! Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes, or use the preheat setting if you are using the Ninja Foodi air fryer. Sit the frozen mozzarella sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry for 5 minutes at 360 F.

How long do you air fry mozzarella sticks?

Your typical batch of frozen mozzarella sticks will take about 5-8 minutes to air fry depending on how crispy you like them. Set your temp at 360 F, preheat for 5 minutes then air fry for an additional 5 minutes.

Are mozzarella sticks better in the oven or the air fryer?

The air fryer cooks them much quicker and they come out crispier and crunchy. In my opinion mozzarella sticks are better in the air fryer.

Notes

Make sure you freeze your homemade breaded mozzarella sticks for at least 2 hours so they become frozen before baking. They are even better when you freeze them overnight before baking.
If you want to make a fun kid friendly batch of baked cheese sticks try crushing up a bag of Fuego Taki's and make baked Taki's cheese sticks. You can also crush up Flamin Hot Cheetos for some fun spicy Cheetos mozzarella sticks.
Mozzarella and Cheddar Cheese work best for preparing homemade baked cheese sticks. Both cheeses are low in carbs and easy to bread and bake.
