Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- On a clean surface, form the drained cottage cheese into stick shapes. Use your hands to shape firmly, ensuring they hold together.
- Prepare a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Roll each cheese stick in the flour, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it completely with the seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Lightly spray the cheese sticks with cooking spray to ensure a crispy coating.
- Place the cheese sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer with space in between. You may need to cook in batches.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Chef’s Tips
- Ensure the cottage cheese is well-drained to prevent the sticks from falling apart.
- If the sticks are too soft to handle, refrigerate them for 15 minutes before breading.
- Experiment with different seasonings in the breadcrumb mix for variety.
