Today I made lentil meatballs, so good. I cooked them in an air fryer to simplify my life, but even fried in hot oil they have their own charm. It’s up to you which cooking method to choose. I was also considering the microwave. But who knows, maybe even in a pan if you want. In short, it’s your choice. If you don’t have an air fryer and are considering buying one, I have this one and I love it fryerand air Princessxxl.
