To prepare, these mozzarella sticks can be cooked in an oven, air fryer, or conventional fryer. For oven baking, spread them on a baking sheet and cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted. In an air fryer, arrange them in a single layer and cook until crispy. Deep frying will yield the crispiest results. They are best served immediately after cooking while the cheese is still warm and gooey.

How to keep the rest
