Soft and tasty air fryer meatballs.
The meatballs are a classic of Italian cuisine, loved by both young and old for their succulent flavor and versatility in cooking.
In this recipe, we’ll prepare a very tasty version using an air fryer, a method that allows you to achieve meatballs that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, minimizing the use of added fats.
Serve them accompanied by a simple mashed potatoes or with some air fryer new potatoes.

In a large bowl, place the sandwich bread, ground meat, chopped cooked ham, eggs, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix with your hands until all ingredients are well combined.
Form uniform-sized meatballs about the size of a golf ball.
Place the meatballs in the air fryer basket or trays, making sure not to overlap them.
Cook the meatballs at 356°F for about 15 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
