How to make Air Fryer Fried Rice:
- To make this recipe, put your cold rice into a large bowl.
- Then add your frozen vegetables to the rice bowl.
- If you are using egg or another protein, add it to the rice bowl now.
- Next up, you are going to add the coconut aminos and oil to your bowl.
- Mix, mix, mix until well combined.
- Then transfer to the rice mixture to an oven safe container. Place that container into your air fryer.
- Cook at 360 degrees F for 15 minutes. I would suggest stirring 3 times through the 15 minutes.
Recipe Tips:
- Add in whatever protein you like: eggs, tofu, chicken, turkey
- Be sure to stir the air fryer fried rice several times within the 15 minute cooking period. This helps it cook evenly.
- If you are gluten-free be sure to check the soy sauce if you are using that. Coconut Aminos is my gluten-free go to when it comes to a soy sauce flavor.
- Use any combinations of frozen veggies that you like.
