Step 1

Make the cauliflower risotto using my Keto Lemon Risotto recipe but omit the lemon from the recipe. Store on a flat plate on wax or parchment paper in the fridge about an hour before using.

Step 2

Preheat air fryer at 400 °F

Step 3

In a medium size bowl combine the pork rind crumbs with the garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper and parmesan.

Step 4

In another medium sized bowl beat 1 large egg

Step 5

Cut 2 oz of mozzarella into 1 inch cubes and slice 2 basil leaves into thin strips.

Step 6

Create an assembly line and form about 2 tablespoons of the risotto into a ball, then flatten it into your cupped hand, but don’t make it too thin, or the filling will ooze out. To the centre add 1 cube of mozzarella and 1 or 2 strips of the basil.

Step 7

Roll the balls into the egg mixture and then the breadcrumb mixture to lightly coat, set aside until all 6 balls are completed. I found it easier to form the 6 balls first and then dip into egg and breadcrumbs.

Step 8

Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and gently place the 6 arancini balls into the air fryer. If you have a small air fryer, you may need to do this in batches. See note if making in baking in the oven method.

Step 9

Spray the arancini balls with cooking spray and air fry for 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from basket to allow them to set. They will fall apart if removed while they are still hot. Top with parmesan and additional basil strip, dip into your favourite low carb sauce.
