Preparation of Ricotta Fritters in Air Fryer
As you can read, the preparation of these ricotta fritters is extremely quick, you can also prepare the mixture in advance and let it rest in the refrigerator for a few hours.
In a bowl, pour the well-drained ricotta, add the egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and grated parmesan and start mixing with your hands or with a fork.
Now add enough breadcrumbs to achieve a soft but not sticky mixture, in my case about 2 tablespoons were enough, but much will depend on the consistency of the ricotta you use.
Now lightly oil your hands, take a portion of dough and shape it as you prefer, as you can see in the video I shaped them as slightly oval fritters.
Roll each ricotta fritter in breadcrumbs (if you want a more consistent coating, pass them first in a beaten egg) and spray with a little oil.
Cook in the air fryer at 356°F for about 10/12 minutes; times may vary depending on your appliance model.
Once done, serve our ricotta fritters immediately while still hot and steaming, perhaps accompanied by some vegetables or a nice salad and… enjoy your meal!
