Air fryer ricotta fritters disappear in an instant, very light and soft, I recommend them.
A friend gave me a recipe for ricotta fritters, but I didn’t feel like perfuming the kitchen with oil and frying conventionally.
This time it’s a traditional dough with ricotta and eggs, but tomorrow I promise to try a vegan version, still in the air fryer.
So I prepared my ricotta fritters with the air fryer and the result was very well received. Of course, we know that deep frying in oil is a whole different thing and that with the air fryer there are many differences.
Already from the name, fritters should be fried, but I’m satisfied.
This fritter dough is a good compromise. These days I see only fritters and Carnival sweets on the web, but for those like me who don’t love fried food due to digestion problems, the air fryer is a solution.
Mine is small but sufficient, in twenty minutes I cooked 24 fritters.

With floured hands or two teaspoons, form the fritters and place them little by little on air fryer-compatible parchment paper. Cook little by little without overlapping the fritters.
Close the basket and cook the fritters for 8 minutes; at 4 minutes, open, flip the fritters, give another spray of oil, and finish cooking.
Add a little powdered sugar and serve.
Timo e lenticchie’s Advice
Air fryer ricotta fritters, not containing oil, remain unchanged in texture for a couple of days (but don’t worry, there won’t be any left over).
If you want to try a vegan version, I recommend the castagnole.
