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:
- Freezing Preparation: Begin by cutting the string cheese sticks in half and freezing them until solid, approximately two hours.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
