Method

Preparation

Preheat the air fryer to 375 °F.

Combine the cooked rice, plain flour, grated parmesan, and parsley in a large mixing bowl.

Beat the egg separately to check freshness, then add it to the bowl along with salt and pepper.

Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a homogeneous batter forms.

Shaping and Cooking

Shape the mixture into small oval croquettes using two equal-sized spoons to pass the batter back and forth.

Arrange the shaped croquettes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch.

Lightly brush the surface of each croquette with olive oil.

Cook at 375 °F for 10 minutes until the exterior is golden and crisp.

Serve warm with chili sauce or garlic mayonnaise.

Chef's Notes

Ensure the air fryer is preheated to achieve the best golden-brown texture.
