Ingredients
1 Chef Ramsay Risotto Bites (frozen)
Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)
Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Marinara, pesto, or truffle aioli for dipping
Grated Parmesan or shredded mozzarella for extra cheesiness
Crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
Chopped fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even cooking while keeping the risotto bites crispy and golden.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Risotto Bites
Remove the risotto bites from the box and packaging.
Lightly spray with cooking spray for extra crispiness (optional).
Place the risotto bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Step 3: Air Fry the Risotto Bites
Cook at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.
For an extra golden finish, brush the bites with melted butter or olive oil in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Extra Cheesy Option: Sprinkle grated Parmesan or shredded mozzarella on top in the last 2 minutes for a cheesy crust.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the risotto bites from the air fryer and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.
Serve immediately with warm marinara, pesto, or a truffle aioli for dipping.
How to Serve These Risotto Bites
Classic Italian Style: Serve with marinara or garlic aioli.
Gourmet Upgrade: Drizzle with truffle oil or balsamic glaze.
Spicy Kick: Sprinkle with hot honey or red pepper flakes.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
For an extra crispy texture, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes at 400°F.
Want a richer flavor? Brush with garlic butter before serving.
For a softer texture, reduce cooking time by 1-2 minutes.
