Air Fryer Meatballs

Tender meatballs with a crispy exterior made in the air fryer. Perfect for meal prep and freezing.

After cooking meatballs in the air fryer, you'll never bake them in the oven again. The insides stay nice and tender while the outsides get a slight crisp on them. Dip meatballs in marinara, if desired.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces lean ground beef
  • 4 ounces ground pork
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Combine beef, pork, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic, egg, Parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs in a large bowl. Mix well until evenly combined. Form into 16 equally-sized meatballs using an ice cream scoop and place on a baking sheet.

  3. 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.
