Steps
To make the Air Fryer Baked Ricotta
Start by lining the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Drizzle a little olive oil and brush it all over the surface.
Next, take the ricotta and invert the entire package in the center of the basket. Before this, if you notice any excess liquid, drain it carefully into your sink.
To finish, gently lift the package, ensuring the ricotta shape remains intact. Sprinkle the surface with a bit of olive oil and set the air fryer to a temperature of 392°F for about 20 minutes or until the surface is browned.
Finally, once cooked, let the ricotta rest for about 15 minutes and then transfer it to a serving plate.
Tip
You can garnish the cooked ricotta with honey or mustard.
Avoid industrial ricotta and prefer fresh products for a better result.
