Air Fryer Pao de Queijo image

Two types of naturally gluten-free manioc starch (not tapioca) mixed with cheeses are a traditional recipe for Brazilian cheese rolls, but these are made in an air fryer instead of the oven. This cuts down baking time, and still gives you soft, chewy rolls. It is important to use both types of starches for the right flavor. They can be found in most Latin or South American grocery stores or even online.

Time 25m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 9

¾ cup sweet manioc starch (polvilho doce) (such as Yoki®)
¾ cup sour manioc starch (polvilho azedo) (such as Yoki®)
¼ cup whole milk
¼ cup water
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an air fryer to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Mix sweet manioc and sour manioc starches together in a bowl until fully combined.
  • Combine milk, water, olive oil, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add starches. Stir until liquid is absorbed; the mixture will be very dry. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool just until safe to handle.
  • Add eggs to the starch mixture in the saucepan; mix until smooth and dough pulls away from the sides. Add Cheddar cheese and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese; mix well.
  • Using gloved or lightly oiled hands, pinch off a golfball-sized piece of dough, roll into a ball, and place on a plate. Repeat with remaining dough. Line the air fryer with a piece of parchment paper. Place balls into the basket in batches, approximately 1 inch apart.
  • Bake in the air fryer until browned outside, 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining balls.

These cheese balls are a great way to use up leftover cheese. I always have a block of cream cheese in my fridge, so this recipe is perfect for me.

I'm not a big fan of cheese, but these cheese balls were surprisingly good. The tapioca starch gives them a unique flavor and texture.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I substituted the egg yolk with 1/4 cup of almond milk. They turned out great!

Not bad, but not amazing either. The texture was a bit too dry for me. Maybe I overcooked them?

These turned out perfectly! I followed the recipe exactly and they were golden brown and cooked through. I served them with a side of marinara sauce and they were delicious.

These cheese balls were an absolute hit in my household! They're incredibly easy to make and require minimal ingredients. I was worried they wouldn't turn out as fluffy as traditional Brazilian Pao de Queijo, but I was pleasantly surprised by the tex
