1/4 cup (15g) chopped fresh parsley

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the orzo pasta to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until lightly toasted.

Chef Sofia Rossi’s Crisping & Macro Notes

For maximum crispiness, cook the orzo pasta in the air fryer for a crisper texture. To layer flavors, add the sun-dried tomatoes towards the end of cooking, so they retain their flavor and texture. For meal-prep storage, refrigerate or freeze the dish for up to 3 days.
