Sure! Here’s a recipe for making air fryer meatballs from scratch:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (or a combination of beef and pork)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray or oil for the air fryer basket
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, onion, garlic, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Take a small portion of the meat mixture and roll it into a ball, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used, making sure to keep the meatballs a similar size for even cooking.
- Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking. Place the meatballs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them for even air circulation.
- Cook the meatballs in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through, flipping them halfway through cooking time for even browning.
- Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the air fryer meatballs with your favorite sauce or use them in pasta dishes, sandwiches, or as an appetizer.
