Instructions:
Cook the Orzo: Begin by cooking the orzo according to the package directions (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Mushrooms and Onions for Air Frying: In a bowl, toss the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if desired).
Air Fry the Mushrooms and Onions: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spread the mushrooms and onions in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for about 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until they’re golden and tender.
Wilt the Spinach: While the mushrooms and onions are cooking, heat a small pan over medium heat. Add a touch of olive oil and sauté the spinach for 2-3 minutes until it wilts down.
Combine Everything: Once the mushrooms and onions are ready, transfer them to a large bowl. Add the cooked orzo and wilted spinach. Stir everything together and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
Finish with Parmesan (Optional): If you like, sprinkle in some Parmesan cheese for extra flavor and a creamy texture.
Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve! You can enjoy this as a main dish or a side dish.
Variations:
For a Crispy Topping: After combining the orzo with the veggies, you can add a bit more grated Parmesan on top and air fry it for another 2-3 minutes to get a crispy, cheesy crust.
Add Protein: You can add grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a complete meal.
This air fryer version keeps things easy, quick, and full of flavor. Plus, the air fryer gives the mushrooms and onions a great roasted texture without excess oil!
Enjoy!
