A quick and flavorful recipe for air fryer meatballs that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.


Ingredients

  • Ground beef – 1 lb (450 g)
  • Breadcrumbs – 1/2 cup (60 g)
  • Parmesan cheese – 1/4 cup, grated (25 g)
  • Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
  • Fresh parsley – 1/4 cup, chopped
  • Egg – 1 large
  • Salt – 1 teaspoon
  • Pepper – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Olive oil – 1 tablespoon (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the meat mixture by combining ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  2. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 2 tablespoons each, until you have around 20 meatballs.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Lightly grease the air fryer basket and place the meatballs in a single layer.
  5. Cook the meatballs for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
