Dipping Sauce for Mozzarella Sticks

So many ideas for dipping sauces! We like marinara, chili sauce, or even ranch dressing. Or, get fancy and try onion dip, jalapeno popper dip, or even a super tasty spinach or buffalo sausage dip! If it’s movie night, game night, or any time a snack attack needs satisfying, use the air fryer to make onion rings, hot pizza rolls or some decadent tater tot nachos to please that hungry crowd.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

  • For best results, always preheat the air fryer before using.
  • Be sure to allow space between the mozzarella sticks so the hot air can circulate around them. They will cook evenly and be super crispy.
  • For an extra crunchy exterior, spray cooking oil on the mozza sticks before cooking.
  • If cooking in batches, keep cooked cheese sticks warm on a sheet pan in the oven.
  • Make sure to reduce cook time for mini mozzarella cheese sticks.
