Air Fryer Meatballs are a tasty main dish ideal for the whole family. They are prepared very quickly and will surely be liked by everyone.
To make these meatballs, I used a mix of ground pork and beef (this way they are more flavorful), but if you prefer, you can use only beef. For crispier meatballs on the outside, I rolled them in breadcrumbs, a step you can skip if you want.
Of course, if you don’t have an air fryer you can also cook these meatballs in a pan, at the end of the recipe you’ll find all the instructions.
If you are considering purchasing one, I recommend an air fryer like mine, you can find the links in the recommended tools!

How to prepare Air Fryer Meatballs
Put the ground meat, grated cheese, parsley, minced garlic, and break the egg into a bowl. Mix everything well with your hands, season with salt, and add some breadcrumbs to achieve a workable consistency.
Form the meatballs by rolling some mixture between your hands, roll them in breadcrumbs, and slightly flatten them.
Place the meatballs directly on the basket, spray them with a little oil, and cook them in the air fryer for 18 minutes at 356°F. Serve the meatballs hot with your preferred side dish.
