Notes

Expert Tips

Don’t crowd the basket of the air fryer. Leaving a bit of space will allow the air to circulate, so the meatballs’ exterior is nice and crispy.
You will probably only fit around 20 meatballs at a time so that you can cook these in batches.
No extra oil is needed for this recipe.
Gently shake the basket halfway through cooking to turn the meatballs.

Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less cook time, checking for doneness, then adding more time as needed.

Dips For Serving These With
