Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 Cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 Cup milk
  • 1 small white onion (Minced)
  • 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil (Chopped)
  • 1/2 Cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl combine the hamburger meat, egg, worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, milk, minced onion, Italian seasoning, fresh basil, and parmesan cheese.

  3. 3

    Using a spatula or your hands, mix all of the ingredients together well.

  4. 4

    Shape the meat into balls that are about two inches around.

  5. 5

    You can place the meatballs directly into the basket or you can line the basket with a little parchment paper and then place the meatballs on top. Place them in a single layer.

  6. 6

    I was able to fit about 9 meatballs in at a time. You don’t want them to touch because you want them to cook evenly on all sides.

  7. 7

    Cook them for about 6-8 minutes, turning them over once halfway through cooking time.

  8. 8

    They’re ready when they’ve browned nicely on the outside and are cooked throughout!

  9. 9

    Remove from heat. Allow to cool.

  10. 10

    You can use the meatballs as is, topped with sauce, on top of pizza, pasta, or even as a meatball sub!
