Ingredients
- 12 mozzarella string cheese sticks

- 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Cut each mozzarella stick in half.

- Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and oregano.
- Dredge each pepperoni-wrapped mozzarella stick in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
- Place the coated sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Air fry at 390°F for 6-8 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
