Air Fried Mozzarella Cheese is a lighter twist on the classic fried cheese stick, traditionally rooted in Italian-American cuisine. Made with low-moisture mozzarella cheese coated in breadcrumbs and seasonings, this version is crisped to perfection using hot air circulation instead of deep frying, reducing the fat and calorie content. Air frying preserves the gooey inside while delivering a satisfying crunch on the outside, making it a delicious snack or appetizer. Though lower in fat compared to traditional frying, mozzarella cheese is still a rich source of saturated fat and sodium, so portion control is key. On the bright side, it provides protein and calcium, supporting muscle function and bone health. Pairing it with a marinara sauce made from wholesome ingredients can add vitamins and antioxidants, creating a balanced and flavorful treat. Enjoy as part of a mindful eating approach!
