Easy Air Fryer Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix the meat: Place the ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, milk, garlic, onion powder, basil, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix together gently just until combined. Do not over work the meat or the meatballs will be dense.

2. 2

   Form meatballs: Form the meatballs into 1 1/2" balls and place on a baking sheet.

3. 3

   Place in air fryer: Place as many meatballs on the plate of your air fryer without overcrowding (you will more than likely need to cook (2) batches).

4. 4

   Cook meatballs: Cook at 390 degrees for about 10 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 165 degrees. All air fryers vary, so begin checking for doneness after 8 minutes of cooking time. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
