Questions about Mozzarella sticks
How do you cook frozen mozzarella sticks in an air fryer?
Arrange them in a single layer and cook from frozen at 200°C for about 6–8 minutes, turning once. Take them out as soon as the coating is crisp and the cheese starts to soften; cook too long and the cheese can burst out.
Can you make mozzarella sticks at home without them leaking?
Cut mozzarella into sticks, coat each in flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs, then repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating. Freeze them until firm before frying at about 175°C for 2–3 minutes, in batches, until golden.
What sauce goes with mozzarella sticks?
Warm marinara or another tomato dipping sauce is the classic match: its acidity cuts through the rich, stretchy cheese. They also go well with a little garlic mayonnaise or a spicy tomato sauce.
How should you store leftover mozzarella sticks?
Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container within two hours and eat within two days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer until hot and crisp; a microwave tends to make the coating soft.
How many mozzarella sticks are in a typical portion?
One stick is about 32 g and provides 101 kcal. Restaurant portions can contain several sticks, so the total depends on how many you eat.
Are mozzarella sticks higher in protein than chicken tenders?
No: chicken tenders have 19.3 g of protein per 100 g, compared with 15 g in mozzarella sticks. Mozzarella sticks also have more sodium: 763 mg per 100 g in chicken tenders versus 838 mg.
