How To Cook Cheesy Dorito Bombs In The Air Fryer

Start by cutting your cheese into triangle pieces. Add the Doritos to a Ziploc bag, and use a rolling pin to crush the Doritos.

Set up your dredging stations, you will need three bowls,

1. Add the flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Crack the eggs, and beat them with a fork.
3. Add the crushed Doritos.

Dip them in flour mixture, then egg mixture, and finally the Doritos mixture.

As you dredge the cheese slices, use your hands to really coat them. You want the flour to stick to the cheese, then the egg, and finally the Doritos.

As you bread the cheese, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Then pop it into the freezer until frozen solid. About two hours, make sure that they are frozen solid.

Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Once they are frozen solid, add them to the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 400 degrees F, air fryer setting, timer for 6 minutes, and flip halfway.

How Does An Air Fryer Work

The air fryer works by using hot air that circulates the food, crisping it up.  The important thing to remember about the air fryer is cooking the food by circulating hot air.

Therefore if you stack your mozzarella sticks and restrict the airflow, the mozzarella sticks will not crisp up. So for best results, do not crowd or stack your mozzarella sticks. 

Can You Put Aluminum Foil Into The Air Fryer?

Yes, it is safe to use aluminum foil in the air fryer. For best results, remember to read your instruction manual. 

Ensure that the aluminum foil is weighed down correctly, so there is no chance that the foil hits the heating element, which can be dangerous.
