How to make frozen breadsticks

- Set the temperature to 340 degrees and set the timer for 5 minutes. No preheating is needed.
- Once the timer is done, open the air fryer and flip the breadsticks over to finish cooking.
- Set the timer to an additional 3 minutes at the same temperature to finish cooking. Do not flip the breadsticks over if they are topped with cheese.
Note
Total cook time is 8-10 minutes at 340 degrees. Cook until they reach the level of crispiness and doneness you are looking for.

- Everything bagel seasoning
Serving suggestions

Frequently asked questions
Wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for ten seconds.
No, it should not. The starch molecules recrystallize causing the bread to go stale faster.
Storage & reheating
Store in a storage bag or airtight container for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer at the same cooking temperature for 2-4 minutes.
