Air Fryer Arancini
Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Mix cold risotto with Parmesan and egg. The mixture should be sticky and moldable.
- 2
Take a golf ball-sized portion. Flatten, place a mozzarella cube in the center, and form into a ball, sealing completely.
- 3
Roll in flour, then egg, then Italian breadcrumbs.
- 4
Spray all sides with cooking spray.
- 5
Air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway, until deeply golden. Rest 3 minutes (the cheese inside is molten). Serve with marinara.
Tip: The rice must be cold and sticky or the balls won't hold together. Leftover risotto is ideal, but any sticky rice works. Make sure the mozzarella is fully sealed inside or it leaks out. These can be formed ahead and refrigerated until ready to cook.
