How to make Breadsticks in the Air Fryer

Step One: Shape the breadsticks

Divide the dough and shape it into breadsticks. Make sure to make them small enough that they sit in the air fryer basket. Don’t overlap them!

Step Two: Twist the dough

Before adding the breadsticks to the air fryer, twist the dough together and then place them in the basket.

Step Three: Combine toppings

Mix the seasonings and the butter, and then apply to the top of the breadsticks.

Step Four: Cook

Cook the breadsticks at 350 degrees for 6 minutes.

Serve and enjoy dipping in your favorite marinara sauce!

Expert Tips

The breadsticks will swell while cooking, so make sure to leave plenty of room in the air fryer basket. You may have to do 3-4 rounds of baking to cook them all. (be patient – they’re worth it!)

If you want to change the topping, go for it! I’m a huge fan of adding melted butter on top and then sprinkling parmesan cheese on it as well!

Let the breadsticks cool slightly after they’re done cooking. This helps them not be so hot and gives them a nice chew when you bite into them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when breadsticks are done cooking?

The color of the breadsticks is the biggest indicator. The outside should turn a nice golden-brown coloring, and the middle should be nice and fluffy.

If you need to break one open a bit to peek inside, you can easily do so. I do this sometimes to give me peace of mind that they’re cooked all the way.

What are the best dips for breadsticks?

Marinara sauce is always at the top of my list! You can also dip your breadsticks in ranch dressing, melted cheese, or salsa, or eat them without any type of dipping sauce at all.

How do I store leftover breadsticks?

The easiest way to store leftover bread is to let it cool down completely and then store it in an airtight container.

It must be cooled all the way, or it will release condensation in the container, making the bread soggy and moist feeling.

Can I freeze leftover breadsticks?

Absolutely! The same rule applies to freezing the breadsticks. Make sure that they’re cooled all the way, and then store them in a freezer-safe bag or container.

To thaw the breadsticks, simply move them to the fridge. You can then warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds of time, and they should be soft and delicious.

Can I make these breadsticks taste sweet?

To give them more of a dessert taste, simply melt butter and then add a cinnamon sugar mixture on top. So good – and so simple to do!
