Easy Air Fryer Meatballs
If you’re looking for a no-fuss, flavor-packed appetizer, these Air Fryer Meatballs check every box. They’re juicy, seasoned just right, and cook up in under 10 minutes with barely any cleanup.
What makes these air fryer meatballs worth making? They use a mix of ground beef and pork for the best flavor and texture, and the air fryer gives them a golden crust without drying them out. Plus, you only need a few pantry staples and one bowl to pull it all together.
Helpful Tips
- Don’t overmix the meat. Just mix until everything is combined to keep the meatballs tender.
- Use a cookie scoop. This helps portion the meatballs evenly so they all cook at the same rate.
- Shake halfway through. Give the air fryer basket a shake or gently turn the meatballs at the halfway mark to make sure they brown evenly.
