Ingredients
4 egg roll wrappers
4 mozzarella cheese sticks (or string cheese sticks)
1/4 cup water, or as needed
cooking spray
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup marinara sauce, or as needed for serving
Directions
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a cutting board, with corners facing up and down, and left and right. Place a cheese stick across the center of wrapper. Roll bottom corner of wrapper up over cheese stick. Fold in left and right corners; seal with a dab of water. Finish rolling up wrapper and seal top corner with a dab of water. Repeat with other cheese sticks and wrappers.
Place the rolls in the basket of the air fryer. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Air fry for 5 minutes. Open the air fryer; turn rolls over. Air fry until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes more.
Meanwhile, stir melted butter, garlic, and parsley together in a small bowl. Remove rolls to a plate and brush with garlic sauce.
