Air fryer sausage meatballs

Step 1

Preheat the air fryer basket to 190C (350F approx).

Step 2

Place all of your ingredients in a mixing bowl including the optional Italian seasoning if you're including this.

Step 3

Wet your hands and then shape the mixture into small meatballs.

Step 4

I sometimes use an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop to help me get an even amount of mixture for each meatball. You can skip this step and just make them a little more rustic if you'd prefer.

Step 5

I am able to make 12-15 meatballs comfortably from this mixture, 15 are on the smaller size, 12 are more generous. Obviously if you make more or less then you'll want to adjust the cooking time slightly to ensure that they are cooked fully.

Step 6

Cook them for 12 minutes, shaking the air fryer basket halfway through to help ensure that the meatballs don't stick to the bottom.

Step 7

I personally do not use any spray oil, or other oil, during the cooking process as the meatballs are quite high in fat content and typically don't stick. Shaking the basket up halfway through helps with this anyway.

Step 8

Check the internal temperature has reached at least 75C (165F) before serving.
