These handmade mozzarella sticks are gluten-free and crispy, and they can be cooked in the oven or fried in an air fryer for maximum convenience.
They are covered in a golden breading on the surface and have a gooey cheese filling on the inside; they are quite delectable.
Ingredients for Gluten Free Mozzarella Sticks
| Ingredients | Quantity |
| mozzarella cheese sticks | 12 oz |
| gluten-free all-purpose flour | ⅓ cup |
| arrowroot powder | 1 tbsp |
| salt | 1 tsp |
| black pepper | ½ tsp |
| garlic powder | 1 tsp |
| eggs | 2 |
| gluten-free Italian bread crumbs | 1 cup |
Preparation for Gluten Free Mozzarella Sticks
- Prepare a baking sheet with a rim by lining it with parchment paper and setting it aside.
- Flour, arrowroot powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder should be mixed together in a shallow small basin.
- The eggs should be beaten in a separate, shallow basin. The Italian breadcrumbs should be placed in a third, more shallow dish.
- If you are using a block of cheese, cut the block into sticks that are 3 inches long and 1/2 an inch thick. Each cheese stick should be rolled in the flour (shake off excess). After that, it is dipped in the egg mixture
- After that, roll the item in the bread crumbs and press it. After the mozzarella sticks are ready, place them on a baking sheet that has been lined.
- Put the mozzarella sticks in the freezer for at least two hours, or until they are completely frozen solid.
- Oven-Baked: Bring the temperature in the oven up to 400 degrees.
- Spray the frozen mozzarella sticks with the oil or avocado oil spray and give them a light coating all over the top.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the topping is brown and crispy. Keep a close check on them as they go back to prevent the cheese from melting out of the sandwich.
- Air Fry: Set the temperature of your air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
- When you are done, cover the bottom of the basket with parchment paper, spread the mozzarella sticks in a single layer across the bottom and then spray them with a small bit of cooking spray or olive oil spray.
- Cook in the air fryer for 5–7 minutes, or until the food is crispy.
- At the end of five minutes, give it a check to see if any of the cheese has melted away. Marinara sauce should be served with mozzarella sticks as soon as possible.

Review
I will never suggest a product unless I really like it and actually use it myself. The very crunchy outside, in addition to the warm and ooey-gooey cheese core, is a combination that will have you begging for more.
I would rate it 4 out of 5. If you use this recipe, please leave a remark and rate it at the bottom of this page. Definitely a must try dish.
