Air Fryer Mozzarella Sticks
  1. Before frying, place the halved cheese sticks on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 30 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, assemble the breading and get out the air fryer.

  3. Whisk the mayonnaise and egg together in a medium bowl.

  4. Place the flour, breadcrumbs, onion, and garlic powder in a large bowl and whisk to combine.

  5. Working in batches of 6, roll the frozen cheese sticks in the mayo-egg mixture to coat, then in the flour mixture.

  6. Return the coated cheese sticks to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cheese sticks.

  7. Return the baking sheet to the freezer for 10 minutes.

  8. Heat the air fryer to 370°F.

  9. Fry 6 the mozzarella sticks for 5 minutes -- it is important not to overcrowd the air fryer.

  10. Repeat with the remaining sticks and serve warm with the marinara for dipping.
