Air Fryer Meatballs

Description

After cooking meatballs in the air fryer, I will never bake them in the oven again. The insides stay nice and tender while the outsides get a slight crisp on them. The best part is that you can make them ahead of time and freeze for later use. I have included those directions in the notes. Dip meatballs in marinara, if desired.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces lean ground beef
  • 4 ounces ground pork
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ⅓ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Combine beef
  3. pork
  4. Parmesan cheese
  5. bread crumbs
  6. egg
  7. garlic
  8. Italian seasoning
  9. and salt in a large bowl. Mix until evenly combined. Form into 16 equal meatballs (a small ice cream scoop is helpful) and place on a baking sheet.
  10. Place 1/2 of the meatballs in the basket of the air fryer and cook 8 minutes. Shake the basket and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer to a serving plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining meatballs.
