Air Fryer Meatballs

I've been using my air fryer (affiliate link) all week, yesterday i shared my honest review and an empanada recipe and today i shared this pork chop recipe, which i also have on my blog as a baked version.

Recipe Summary Air Fryer Meatballs

After cooking meatballs in the air fryer, I will never bake them in the oven again. The insides stay nice and tender while the outsides get a slight crisp on them. The best part is that you can make them ahead of time and freeze for later use. I have included those directions in the notes. Dip meatballs in marinara, if desired.

Ingredients | Pork Chops In Air Fryer

16 ounces lean ground beef

4 ounces ground pork

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon salt

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 egg

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

⅓ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

Directions

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Combine beef, pork, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic, egg, Parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs in a large bowl. Mix well until evenly combined. Form into 16 equally-sized meatballs using an ice cream scoop and place on a baking sheet.

Place 1/2 of the meatballs in the basket of the air fryer and cook 8 minutes. Shake the basket and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer to a serving plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining meatballs.

These can be made ahead and frozen for later use. After step 2, place the baking sheet in the freezer for 4 hours. Transfer meatballs to a freezer-safe container. Cook time will need to be increased to 15 minutes (cook for 12 minutes, shake, and then cook 3 minutes more).
