Air Fryer Breaded Rice Balls Recipe

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, Italian seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Using your hands, form the rice mixture into a log. Divide into 8 equal portions.

Step 3

Place a Mozzarella cube on each rice portion and roll it into a ball. Transfer balls to the freezer. Chill for 15 minutes, or until firm.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a shallow dish place the Italian bread crumbs. In a separate dish, place beaten eggs.

Step 5

Remove rice balls from the freezer. One by one, dip balls in the whisked eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Place breaded rice balls in the air fryer basket. Sprinkle both sides with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 7

Fry at 390 F (195 C) for 10 minutes, or until rice balls are golden brown, flipping once during the cooking time. Serve warm.
