How to Make Parmesan Spinach Rice Fritters

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 365°F (185°C).
  2. Thoroughly squeeze out excess water from 1 cup of chopped fresh spinach.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, squeezed spinach, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 egg, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  4. Gradually add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape when a spoonful is lifted. The mixture should be slightly sticky but not too wet.
  5. Lightly grease your air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  6. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the prepared air fryer basket, leaving some space between each fritter.
  7. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
