Crispy Air-Fried Burrata with Marinara

Crispy on the outside, irresistibly creamy in the middle, this air-fried burrata is a simple twist on a classic Italian favourite. Coated in seasoned breadcrumbs with smoked paprika and oregano, the burrata is air fried until golden and crisp, then served over warm marinara sauce.

Finished with Parmesan and fresh parsley, it makes an easy starter, sharing dish or indulgent addition to a relaxed dinner.
