Meatball Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey Feel free to use a combination for added flavor.
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs Use panko for extra crunch.
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese For a flavorful kick.
  • 1 count egg To bind everything together.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced For aromatic goodness.
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano To add depth.
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef or turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; be careful not to over-mix, or you’ll end up with tough meatballs.
  3. Shape the mixture into even-sized meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Place the formed meatballs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching to allow air to circulate freely.
Cooking
  1. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Remove from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sauce or as is!

Notes

To ensure your meatballs come out perfect every time, don’t skip the breadcrumbs, customize seasonings to your liking, and use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
