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.

Air Fryer Meatballs

beef

pork

Italian seasoning

salt

garlic,

Parmesan cheese

bread crumbs

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.


Instead of ground beef and pork, used 1.5 lb. of ground venison.  This recipe was delicious.

I added extra parmesan cheese because we loooove cheese and used teriyaki sauce to give it a lil bang it was soooo good!

This recipe is so easy and so good.  The only thing I did different is we only had elk meat instead of regular hamburger.

Made mine with a venison and beef mixture. I also placed a small ball of mozzarella cheese in the middle and it was great!  I used the same seasonings and put it in my Ninja Foodi. 8 min on the bake function and 4 in the air fryer function.

My go to recipe for meatballs!

Easy as cake! I made some adjustments for personal taste, but this is in HEAVY rotation in my house!

Really good.  I was shocked that I actually had all the ingredients.
I made my meatballs the size of billiard balls so I had them in the air fryer for 14 minutes at 350.    I used my meat thermometer to verify that they were cooked inside. I followed the recipe exactly as shown.   Definitely use the ice cream scoop to make your meatballs uniform.

What a great simple recipe!  I quadrupled the recipe and was able to get half of all of my meatballs into my large air fryer.  The flavor was great and my husband was extra happy that I didn't use onions to make them.  The meatballs have great flavor and I look forward to making this again.

Just got the air fryer and was a little hesitant how these would come out.  DELICIOUS!  Made no changes to the recipe.

These were delicious.  I made them smaller - slightly bigger than a golf ball and 10 min was good in air fryer. Used the two cloves of garlic but they were big cloves. They were still awesome. This one is a keeper.
