·        Do the flour coating process twice so that the stick shape is neater.

·        For best results, after coating with flour, store the mozzarella sticks in the freezer for at least 1 hour. The cooling process will make the flour layer more sturdy and not easily crushed or open when fried.

·        Fry over high heat so the flour layer doesn't break or the melted cheese 'leaks'.

·        You can cook mozzarella sticks using an air fryer. So that the resulting color can be more attractive, spray the oil using an oil sprayer on the surface of the mozzarella stick.

Tips to cook Mozarella Stick in air fryer

How to make mozzarella sticks in air fryer? The result is no less crispy than foods fried in oil. For processed food results to be more perfect, there are a few tips that you can try.

·        Preheat the air fryer first

Like the oven, the air fryer should be preheated before use. This process only takes a few minutes.

·        Spray with oil

Even though this appliance is designed to process foodstuffs without oil, you can still use oil to add flavor and help your food to fry perfectly. It's a good idea to spray the oil on the food, not the food basket. The oil sprayed on the basket will only make the basket soggy and smoky.

·        Shake the basket occasionally

Air fryers also require this flipping method, but the goal is not to even out the ripening process but to prevent food from sticking together. Just by shaking the basket a little, the ingredients don't stick to each other like potatoes and broccoli.
