Air Fryer Meatballs
These easy Air Fryer Meatballs are made with all beef and cook in 10 minutes with basic ingredients to serve for dinner or as an appetizer.
Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound 85% lean ground beef
- marinara sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat an air fryer to 400ºF.
- Beat the egg in a large bowl. Add the panko breadcrumbs, egg, milk, parsley, garlic and the seasoning and stir to combine. Add the ground beef and mix again to combine. Form into 16 meatballs and set on a plate.
- Transfer the meatballs to the air fryer and arrange in a single layer. You may need to cook in two batches. Cook until the meatballs are browned and the internal temperature of the beef reaches 160°F, shaking the basket halfway through, 8-10 minutes total.
- Allow the meatballs to rest for 5 minutes before serving with marinara sauce, if desired.
Notes
My Top Tip: Avoid over-mixing! Mixing too much can leave you with tough meatballs, so your ingredients should be just-combined.
Storage: Keep any leftover meatballs in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, add them to a preheated 250°F air fryer and heat for about 5 minutes or until warmed through. Alternatively, heat them in a skillet, oven, or microwave.
Freezing: Once you form the meatballs, line a sheet pan with parchment or wax paper and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up 3 months. When you're ready to eat, thaw them in the fridge overnight, before adding to the air fryer.
