Air Fried Brown Rice Italian Arancini

Do you love Italian Arancini but haven’t quite yet mastered oil frying at home? That’s me. No matter what I’ve done I just don’t seem to have the knack for getting it right. But,  don’t let that discourage you like it has for me over the years. This Air Fried Brown Rice Italian Arancini is fool proof that you will be making it as often as weekly dinners.
