Why You’ll Love It

Amy’s Organic Mushroom Risotto Bowl is a creamy, plant-based comfort dish made with organic Arborio rice, tender mushrooms, and vegetables in a flavorful, dairy-free sauce. When cooked in the air fryer, the risotto becomes hot and bubbly, with slightly caramelized edges that give it more depth than microwaving. It's rich, savory, and satisfying—perfect for a quick, meatless meal.

Ingredients

• 1 Amy’s Organic Mushroom Risotto Bowl (frozen; do not thaw)

• Optional: Foil (to prevent early browning or drying out)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 360°F for 3–5 minutes.

Prepare the Bowl

• Remove the cardboard box and leave the risotto in its paper bowl.

• Lightly cover with foil to prevent the top from drying or over-browning during the first portion of cooking.

Air Fry

• Place the covered bowl into the air fryer basket.

• Cook at 360°F for 24–28 minutes total.

• At the 18–20 minute mark, remove the foil and cook uncovered for the final 6–8 minutes to allow bubbling and gentle browning on the edges.

Check for Doneness

The risotto should be hot and creamy throughout, with lightly golden edges and a fully heated center. Use a food thermometer to verify the center reaches 165°F. Stir gently and add 1–2 extra minutes if needed.

Pro Tips

• Stir gently after cooking to reincorporate the creamy texture.

• Let rest for 1–2 minutes before eating to thicken slightly and cool to the perfect temperature.

• Add a pinch of salt or pepper before serving to enhance the earthy mushroom flavor.

Serving Ideas

• Serve with:

  • Steamed or roasted asparagus

  • A crisp side salad with lemon vinaigrette

  • Warm baguette or rustic toast

• Optional garnishes:

  • Fresh parsley or thyme

  • A drizzle of truffle oil or olive oil

  • Vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast

Storage & Reheating

Storage

• Refrigerate any leftovers in a sealed container for up to 2 days.

Reheating

• Air Fryer: 350°F for 6–8 minutes, covered loosely with foil

• Microwave: Heat on high for 1.5–2 minutes, stirring halfway through

FAQs

Can I cook this risotto uncovered the whole time?

You can, but the top may dry out. Covering with foil for most of the cook time keeps the texture creamy.

Can I use a different dish instead of the paper bowl?

Yes, if preferred, transfer to an oven-safe ramekin or dish that fits your air fryer.

Should I thaw it first?

No—this meal is made to go directly from frozen to air fryer.
