This quick and easy recipe transforms light mozzarella string cheese into crispy delights using the air fryer. Packed with flavor and low on points, these savory treats are perfect for satisfying cravings without compromising your wellness goals.

Ingredients:

  • ¾ Packet of Shake n Bake Coating
  • 1.5 tablespoons of Italian Seasoning (opt for Mrs. Dash for a salt-conscious choice)
  • 1 Egg
  • 12 Light Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks

Instructions:

  1. Freezing Preparation: Begin by cutting the string cheese sticks in half and freezing them until solid, approximately two hours.
  2. Coating Process: Once frozen, combine Shake n Bake seasoning and Italian Seasoning in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until well-combined. Dip each frozen string cheese piece into the egg, followed by the breading mixture.
  3. Air Frying: Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Place the coated mozzarella sticks in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Air fry for 5-8 minutes, keeping a vigilant eye to prevent overcooking and ensure the cheese remains encased in its crispy breading.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked to golden perfection, serve these mouthwatering mozzarella sticks with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are – a perfectly crunchy, cheesy snack.

Pro Tips:

  • Experiment with different dipping sauces to elevate the flavor profile.
  • Customize the seasoning blend to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a variation, try using whole wheat Shake n Bake for added fiber.
  • Why Air Frying?
  • Air frying offers a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods, reducing oil consumption while still achieving that desirable crispiness. It’s a fantastic cooking technique for those on a Weight Watchers journey, providing a satisfying crunch without compromising on points.
