Cannellini bean and ricotta balls, a light and tasty recipe designed for cooking in the air fryer (or fan oven). Soft on the inside and golden on the outside, ideal as an appetizer, light main course or side for salads.
Blend the cannellini beans until you get a smooth and creamy mixture.
Add the ricotta and breadcrumbs, mixing until you get a compact dough.
Shape medium or small balls, depending on how you want to use them.
Coat the balls in breadcrumbs to create an even breading.
Arrange the balls on a baking tray and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
Cook in the air fryer or in a fan oven preheated to 180°C for about 20 minutes, until golden.
