Step 1
Preheat air fryer to 380°F for 2 minutes while you arrange mozzarella sticks in a single layer on the basket.
Step 2
Lightly spray the mozzarella sticks on all sides with cooking oil. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Air fry for 5 minutes without shaking. Cheese should bubble at the edges; outside looks golden and crispy.
Step 4
Let cool for 60 seconds on the basket—the cheese will set slightly. Transfer to a plate and serve with warm marinara.
