Notes

Ninja Foodi and Instant Pot Duo Instructions | Use the air fryer or crisping lid on your device. It acts just like an air fryer. Both devices work amazing.

Leave Space: Make sure to leave space in between each one of your mozzarella sticks for an even cook. If you need then batch cook.

Eggs Roll + Wonton Wrappers: You can use wonton wrappers or egg roll wrappers.

Water: Using water to lightly press around the edges of wrapper will act as the glue to keeping them stuck together.

Overcooking: Don't overcook or they can break open and the cheese will ooze out.

Air Fryer Differences: Make sure to watch your egg roll mozzarella sticks, as all air fryers can cook differently. So use your best judgment in terms of when the sticks are done.
