Ingredients
  • 6 mozzarella string cheese sticks
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups Flaming Hot Cheetos
  • olive oil spray (I used Pam)
  • Optional: ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
  1. Unwrap the string cheese and cut them in half. Place them on a plate or tray and put them in the freezer for 1 hour.

  2. Crack the egg and beat with a fork in a bowl. Crush the Cheetos and put them in a separate bowl.

    Note: To crush the Cheetos use a food processor, blender, or put the Cheetos in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.

  3. Dip each cheese stick into the egg and then into the crushed Cheetos, pressing the crumbs slightly so they stick. Put each cheese stick into the air fryer basket.

  4. Spray with the olive oil spray and set the air fryer to 400 degrees for 6 minutes. Serve right away with ranch dressing for dipping if desired.
