Air Fryer Trader Joe’s Breaded Mozzarella Sticks
These Air Fryer Trader Joe’s Breaded Mozzarella Sticks are crispy on the outside and filled with gooey, melty cheese on the inside. Cooked straight from frozen, they’re the perfect quick snack or appetizer when you want something cheesy and delicious. The air fryer makes them perfectly browned without any oil—way better than restaurant mozzarella sticks!
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 1 package Trader Joe’s Frozen Breaded Mozzarella Sticks
Instructions
- Take the mozzarella sticks out of the package—no need to defrost them.
- Place the frozen mozzarella sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Set the air fryer to 400°F.
- Cook for 4 minutes.
- After 4 minutes, check on them—if some cheese is starting to ooze out and they are soft to the touch, they’re ready!
- If they don’t feel soft or gooey enough, cook for 1 additional minute at 400°F, and check again. Be careful not to overcook—mozzarella sticks go quickly from frozen to exploded!
- Once cooked, remove from air fryer using tongs and serve immediately.
Notes
- Tip: If cooking less than a full package (like half or a quarter), they may cook faster. Start checking at 3 minutes.
- Always keep a close eye on them during the last minute to avoid cheese leaking out too much.
