Meatballs without eggs in air fryer are crispy and golden like the classic fried meatballs that grandmothers and moms prepare, but digestible and light.
I prepared my meatballs with a mixture of lean ground beef and pork flavored with whole wheat breadcrumbs and parmesan, without eggs and cooked them in an air fryer.
Alternatively, you can use ground chicken breast or turkey breast.
Tasty, they are a delight for both adults and children.
Serve them plain or accompanied with homemade tomato sauce.
One leads to another!
If you don’t have an air fryer you can cook them in a pan.

- 8 oz lean ground beef and pork (lean)

- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch mixed peppercorns (with grinder)

Preparation
In a bowl, add:
• the ground meat;
• the whole wheat breadcrumbs;
• the grated cheese;
• garlic [optional];
• salt;
• pepper;
• parsley;
and mix the ingredients.Prepare a flat plate or tray.
To make meatballs as even as possible, I use a 7.5 g or 15 g measuring spoon depending on the desired size.
With your hands, form balls, press them slightly [they will be crunchier], and arrange them on the plate or tray.
Grease your hands with a little olive oil and pass each meatball through your hands.
