Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked wild rice
• 1 cup plain flour
• 2 eggs, well-beaten
• 1 shallot, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare your air fryer for cooking by selecting the “Air Fry” function and adjusting the temperature to 400 degrees F. Press the “Start” key to initiate the preheating process.
2. While the air fryer preheats, gather the essential ingredients that form the heart of these delightful Wild Rice Patties. Cook the wild rice according to the package instructions, ensuring that it’s tender and bursting with its signature nutty flavor.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked wild rice with plain flour. This combination ensures that the patties hold their shape while achieving a satisfying texture.
4. Add the well-beaten eggs to the mixture. The eggs serve as the binding agent that brings all the components together, allowing the patties to maintain their form and imparting a luscious texture.
5. Incorporate the chopped shallot and minced garlic into the mixture. These aromatic ingredients infuse the patties with layers of rich flavor, evoking a sense of comfort and warmth.
6. Season the mixture with sea salt and ground black pepper to taste. These spices not only enhance the flavor of the patties but also add a dash of complexity that elevates the overall experience.
7. Drizzle olive oil into the mixture, ensuring that every ingredient is well coated. The olive oil contributes to the overall moisture of the patties and helps achieve a golden brown exterior during air frying.
8. Thoroughly combine all the ingredients until you have a cohesive mixture that’s speckled with the vibrant colors of the shallots and infused with the aroma of garlic.
9. Line the air fryer oven pan with a sheet of parchment paper. This step ensures that the patties won’t stick to the pan and makes for easy cleanup.
10. Using your hands, shape portions of the mixture into equal patties. Place the patties in a single layer on the parchment paper-lined pan, ensuring even cooking and browning.
11. Carefully place the pan with the patties into the preheated air fryer. Allow the patties to air fry for approximately 11 minutes, or until they achieve a beautiful golden brown hue.
12. Once the patties are perfectly cooked and visually appealing, remove them from the air fryer with care.
13. Serve the Wild Rice Patties hot and with a sense of wholesome satisfaction. Each bite offers a delightful combination of the nutty wild rice, the depth of shallots and garlic, and the subtle warmth of spices.
