When the kids are home from school, I'm always trying to find new things to make for lunch and snacks. I recently started trying out a few snack options in the air fryer we could share together like a batch of gluten-free mozzarella sticks. This has become a family favorite!

Gluten-free Mozzarella Sticks

Our family is almost entirely gluten-free to adapt to dietary needs. That means I try to adapt classic recipes using gluten-free ingredients as much as possible without compromising taste and texture. This recipe can be made with regular flour and panko but also works well with gluten-free versions.

The best part is this recipe doesn't require frying in oil. It feels like an indulgent snack without the extra work and heat during the hot summer months.

This mozzarella sticks recipe can be made with string cheese, but we tend to prefer Italian-style mozzarella cheese that melts easily. It comes in a square and is easy to slice into sticks.

What kind of air fryer works best for mozzarella sticks

I recently purchased a new air fryer, and our entire family loves this new kitchen gadget. We already own the Instant Pot Duo Pressure Cooker/Air Fryer , and while it's an excellent air fryer, I wanted a basket that could cook more food at once.

After doing some research I discovered the Ninja foodi air fryer to be our best option. It has a basket that holds the equivalent of a 9×13 sheet pan. This allows us to cook more at once instead of smaller batches. This was the perfect fit for our family and is already getting a lot of use testing out new air fryer recipes.
