Frozen Mozzarella Sticks In Air Fryer
Hit the pin button below, if like me you LOVE mozzarella sticks and couldn’t imagine party time without them!!!
Yes. I am a cheese addict.
If there was AA for cheese addicts, I would be sat in group chat now blaming my mother for my addiction. I would tell the group that it started in the womb and that I had no chance of NOT being addicted to cheese.
That my mother would squirt tubes of primula cheese in her mouth while waddling like a duck around Tesco’s.
Or how she used to save up her pocket money to buy cheese. Or that she would be a size zero if bread and cheese combined with butter and wine didn’t exist.
I am not a big wine fan, as I am almost tee total. But PLEASE GIVE ME MORE CHEESE. Or I should say PLEASE MAKE CHEESE ZERO CALORIES. Then I could eat it forever and ever.
Top of my list of cheesy favourite treats must be frozen mozzarella sticks. I know it’s the lazy way to cook air fryer mozzarella sticks and that we should always make them from scratch, but this is lazy Christmas season when we want to quickly throw our food in the air fryer and impress our guests.
Then when they say our mozzarella sticks are out of this world, you can smile back at them knowing your little secret!

Can You Cook Mozzarella Sticks From Frozen?
Yes, you can cook mozzarella sticks from frozen. Frozen mozzarella sticks are so crispy when cooked from frozen vs when you thaw first and they go soggy.
Can You Microwave Frozen Mozzarella Sticks?
Yes, you can microwave frozen mozzarella sticks, but if I had the choice, I would choose the air fryer. Whilst I am a big fan of the microwave (microwave sweet potatoes is my favourite) they don’t give you a delicious crispy texture on your frozen food. Instead of frozen mozzarella sticks in microwave read below for info about air frying mozzarella sticks.
Can You Cook Mozzarella Sticks In An Air Fryer?
Yes, you can cook mozzarella sticks in the air fryer and I would rate them as the number 1 method.
When you air fry them they keep the amazing crispy texture, the cheese is always so melty and delicious, and you can also use the air fryer to warm up any dip that you plan to serve with them.
How To Keep Mozzarella Sticks From Exploding In An Air Fryer?
I have had exploding mozzarella sticks before in the air fryer and it makes such a mess.
To avoid your mozzarella sticks from exploding its all about not cooking them for too long, cooking them at the right temperature and cooking them straight from the freezer.
Straight from the freezer – this means that your cheese doesn’t get a head start and melts slowly and then stops it exploding.
Time and temp – What this does is if you cook them at too high a temperature or for too long the cheese cooks for too long and the cheese comes out and makes a mess in your air fryer.
Best Frozen Mozzarella Sticks For Air Fryer?
These are many different brands of mozzarella sticks, or as you can might call them, cheese sticks in air fryer, but which is best and which results in the best air fryer results?
Well, I love TGI Friday’s mozzarella sticks in the air fryer the most and then Iceland Mozzarella sticks are a close 2nd. The Iceland brand was the ones we originally used the very first time we showed you how to cook frozen food in the air fryer so feels special.
Then of course, if you are in the US farm rich mozzarella sticks in air fryer, is also a delicious option.
Complete Air Fryer Cookbook + Frozen Favourites
In our first air fryer cookbook, The Complete Air Fryer Cookbook (get it here) we started with the beginning with teaching you the air fryer and one of the first recipes in the book was for frozen mozzarella sticks.
But in our 2nd air fryer cookbook Air Fryer Easy Everyday (get it here) we showed you even more ways to use frozen food in your cooking with some brilliant hacks including in our air fryer cauliflower cheese recipe.
So, if you want to get confident with the air fryer, we recommend that you check out our cookbooks.
Can You Recommend An Air Fryer?
I often get asked which air fryers I recommend and which one I use. In 95% of our air fryer recipes, we use either the Philips Air Fryer XL or the Cosori XL because they are the best ones, we have found out of many air fryers we have tried over the years. You can click on the links above and read up on them. But if you would rather have a dual air fryer we recommend this Ninja Dual (make sure you order the right one as not all are good) or the Philips Dual.
How To Cook Frozen Mozzarella Sticks In Air Fryer?
- Prepare. Place the frozen mozzarella sticks into the air fryer basket and spread them out.
- Cook. Air fry the mozzarella sticks at 180c/360f for 8 minutes or until the cheese sticks are fully cooked and crispy.
- Serve. Choose your favourite dip and serve your mozzarella sticks whilst still warm.
That is how simple it is to cook frozen mozzarella sticks in air fryer but now let’s talk all about how long to cook them for.
How Long To Put Frozen Mozzarella Sticks In Air Fryer?
The mozzarella sticks air fryer time is JUST 8 minutes. Isn’t that AMAZING? Freezer to fully cooked crispy cheese sticks in just 8 minutes.
For cosori air fryer mozzarella sticks or using the ninja foodi, the time and temp is the same, as there is no change.
But if doing power air fryer mozzarella sticks frozen, you need to add an extra 20% cooking time on, as we find the Power Air Fryer Oven brand will take about 10 minutes.

I cooked the full box of sticks, about 16 i think but they were really small and it cooked them perfectly, mine is a different type of air fryer to yours but i used the same time.
I made seven and had to cook for 9 minutes. Cook times really vary.
Hi Jason
Yes they do depending on the produce and the type of air fryer used ?
