What type of Air Fryer should I use for this recipe?

There are many Air Fryers to choose from, but I love my PowerXL Vortex Air fryer! Here are some other great options:

Best dipping sauces to serve with mozzarella sticks:

  • Homemade Marinara Sauce is the classic mozzarella stick dip and this recipe is SO good!
  • Creamy Jalapeno Ranch is a great dip to spice up the mozzarella sticks!
  • Copycat Zax Sauce is a milder dip that tastes great!
  • Chipotle Ranch is the perfect spicy dip for these!

Can I store and reheat the air fryer frozen mozzarella sticks?

Yes, but I do not recommend. They are best when they are cooked from frozen in the air fryer.

  • If you have left over mozzarella sticks, store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
  • To reheat: add back to air fryer, and cook at 370 degrees for 2-3 minutes.
