Ingredients
- 200 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams Whole wheat flour
- 2 large Egg whites
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 for coating Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Cut the low-fat mozzarella cheese into small, bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch each side.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, place the whole wheat flour. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until slightly frothy.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper; mix well.
Step 4
Take each cheese cube and coat it lightly with flour, then dip it into the egg whites, making sure to cover all sides.
Step 5
Next, roll the cheese cube in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well. Repeat this process with all the cheese cubes.
Step 6
Place the breaded cheese cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Step 7
Lightly spray the cheese cubes with non-stick cooking spray on all sides to enhance crispiness.
Step 8
Place the cubes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other for even cooking. You may need to cook them in batches.
Step 9
Cook the cheese cubes in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Serve immediately while hot, as they are best when fresh and the cheese is still soft inside.
