Air Fryer Crispy Meatballs
Ingredients
  • 16 ounces lean ground beef
  • 4 ounces ground pork
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Preheat the air fryer to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if your device prefers that measurement).
2
Mix together ground beef, ground pork, grated Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, beaten egg, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until the ingredients are well combined.
3
Use your hands or a spoon to shape the mixture into 16 identical meatballs. A small ice cream scoop can be helpful in achieving uniform sizes.
4
Place half of the meatballs on a baking sheet, leaving space between each one to allow for even cooking.
5
Cook the first batch of meatballs in the air fryer basket for 8 minutes, then give the basket a gentle shake to redistribute the meatballs. Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
6
Transfer the cooked meatballs to a serving plate and let them rest for 5 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute.
7
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining meatballs, placing them on the baking sheet and cooking in batches if necessary.
8
Serve the warm meatballs immediately, garnished with your choice of accompaniments.
