Exact Ingredients (+ Possible Substitutes)

For making delicious air fryer mozzarella sticks, you need these ingredients:

Mozzarella Cheese Sticks: Use string cheese for easy handling. If unavailable, cut a block of mozzarella into stick shapes.

All-Purpose Flour: Helps the egg mixture stick. You can substitute with whole wheat flour if preferred.

Eggs: Acts as a binder for the breadcrumbs. Use flaxseed meal mixed with water for a vegan option.

Breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs are ideal for extra crunch. Regular breadcrumbs work too, or for a gluten-free option, try crushed rice cereal.

Parmesan Cheese: Adds an extra layer of flavor. If you need a substitute, nutritional yeast provides a cheesy taste.

Seasonings: Common choices are garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix and match to your taste. If you need an alternative, use other dried herbs like oregano or basil.
