Made with Roast'd Aspara Good — Lemon Pepper Asparagus.

Risotto has a reputation for being needy, but twenty minutes of occasional stirring is all it really asks. The bright, crispy air fryer asparagus is the contrast that makes the creamy Parmesan rice work — and since it comes pre-seasoned, it needs zero attention while you stir.

Ingredients

1 pack Roast'd Aspara Good (Lemon Pepper Asparagus) — served on the side
1 cup arborio rice
4 cups warm vegetable stock
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 small onion, finely diced
2 tbsp butter

Procedure

Start the risotto

Soften the onion in butter, add the rice, and toast for 1 minute.
Cook low and slow

Add warm stock a ladle at a time, stirring, until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 20 minutes.
Finish

Stir in the Parmesan and season. Meanwhile, air-fry the Aspara Good for 7–9 minutes until crisp.
Plate

Spoon the risotto into bowls with the lemon pepper asparagus on the side.
