How to make Air Fryer Fried Rice:
- To make this recipe, put your cold rice into an 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.

Hi Cindy
I am a fried rice freak and seldom find really good recipes that I can make myself that remind me of the awesome classic container that we get from our fav Oriental place. I own a triple deck Air Fryer Pro and followed your recipe except for the cooking time. I had a basket the air fryer people provide and lined it with foil because the slots in the basket were big enough that the rice would fall through. I found raising the temp to 375 and upping to 25-30 minutes stirring every few minute like you suggested was the best for my particular Air Fryer. I also added some home ground sausage made from pork country ribs. (1/2 lb) Your recipe for ingredients made this AWESOME. I used normal Soy. It was the BOMB girl. THANK YOU!!!
