Description
A quick and easy air fryer fried rice recipe that transforms leftover rice into a colorful, nutritious meal.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked white rice (preferably cold)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (canola or sesame)
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs and pour them into the air fryer basket. Cook for roughly 5 minutes until scrambled, then remove and set aside.
- Add vegetable oil to the basket along with the onions, carrots, and peas. Air fry for 5-7 minutes until the veggies are tender.

Notes
Use day-old rice for better texture and don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking.
