Tips:
- Use high-quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your cheese sticks. Look for a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack.
- Cut the cheese sticks into even pieces. This will help them cook evenly in the air fryer.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer. If you overcrowd the air fryer, the cheese sticks will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Cook the cheese sticks until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.
- Serve the cheese sticks immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and melted.
