Cooking Methods
- For air frying, preheat to 375°F (190°C), spray with cooking spray, and cook for 5-8 minutes, flipping halfway.
- For deep frying, heat neutral oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden, then drain on paper towels.

Notes
These mozzarella sticks are incredibly versatile. Feel free to experiment with different dipping sauces or even add a pinch of garlic powder or dried herbs to the inside of the wonton wrapper for extra flavor before wrapping. Ensure your oil is at the correct temperature for deep frying to prevent soggy or overly greasy results.
