These air fryer mozzarella sticks are crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and perfectly golden without all the mess of deep frying. I just coat the mozzarella in a crispy breadcrumb mixture, pop them in the air fryer, and in less than 10 minutes, I got a batch of melt-in-your-mouth cheesy goodness.
