If you like making Ninja Foodi Rice then you will also love this wonderful Ninja Foodi Risotto.
Risotto is a wonderful dish that pairs well with a variety of proteins, such as grilled chicken or shrimp.
What is Risotto?
Risotto is a creamy rice dish that uses Arborio Rice. It has a saucy taste and texture, in this case, it is a Parmigiano sauce.
Arborio Rice is a must for Risotto. It’s wider and longer than other rice and although it’s starchy, it’s less than typical rice which leads to a smooth, creamy texture.
Tips for Making Ninja Foodi Risotto:
This Risotto is easy to adapt to your own personal taste and preference. For instance, if you want this spicy, you can easily add some crushed red pepper flakes to it.
If you want it to be more kid-friendly, add more cheese and celery seeds.
Risotto can be used as a side dish or a main meal topped with shrimp or salmon.
It’s also best served with additional cheese on top and fresh herbs.
This dish will be made using the STEAM CRISP Function of the Ninja Foodi. This means you need to be using a Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker.
The gray pot will be used as well as the pressure cooker lid. The valve can either be opened or closed, it will not matter for this recipe.
The chicken broth used in this recipe will create steam that will cook the risotto and then it will be finished off with a nice baked texture.
How do you reheat Ninja Foodi Risotto?
This can be reheated in the microwave for 2-3 minutes at 50% power with a paper towel covering it. This is the best way to reheat it so that it does not overcook.
When you are storing it, it needs to be completely cooled and then stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Enjoy this wonderful Ninja Foodi Risotto!

I would like to make this, but I do not know what Steam crisp is.
It’s on the Ninja Foodi Deluxe Multi-Cooker. It’s going to be a function on that cooker.
Loving your recipes. So easy to follow, so well explained. Risotto is my favourite rice dish and this recipe takes away the stirring for twenty minutes. Fabulous. Thank you.
