Prepare the breading station: Place flour in a shallow dish. In another dish, whisk the eggs. In a third dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Coat the mozzarella sticks: Dredge each mozzarella stick in the flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure they are fully coated.
Freeze the mozzarella sticks: Place the breaded mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight). This helps prevent the cheese from melting too quickly in the air fryer.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Air fry the mozzarella sticks: Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place the frozen mozzarella sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. Spray the mozzarella sticks lightly with olive oil spray.
Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
