Description

This easy Air Fryer Risotto is creamy, flavorful, and made with minimal effort—no stirring required! A perfect side or main dish.

Ingredients 

  • 3 cups risotto
  • 6 cups broth
  • 20 mushrooms, quartered
  • 2 small onions
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes with a baking pan placed inside.
  • Carefully add olive oil to the preheated baking pan, then add the diced onion and garlic.
  • Stir with a wooden spoon to coat the onion and garlic, then close the air fryer and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Open the basket, stir the mixture, and add the butter. Close again to let the butter melt fully.
  • Quarter the mushrooms and add them to the baking pan. Stir to coat them in the butter and onion-garlic mixture.
  • Close the air fryer and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the risotto rice to the baking pan and stir to coat with the mixture. Cook for about 1 minute.
  • Pour in 1/3 of the warm chicken or vegetable broth. Close the basket and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining broth, lower the air fryer temperature to 350°F, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
  • After cooking, leave the basket closed for 5 minutes. Then fluff the risotto, garnish with parsley, and serve.
