Tips:
- Choose the right ground meat. For tender and juicy meatballs, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. You can also use ground turkey or chicken, but they will be less flavorful.
- Use fresh bread crumbs. Stale bread crumbs will make your meatballs dry and crumbly. If you don't have fresh bread crumbs, you can make your own by toasting bread and then grinding it in a food processor.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Form the meatballs into small, uniform balls. This will help them cook evenly.
- Preheat your air fryer. This will help the meatballs cook quickly and evenly.
- Cook the meatballs in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Flip the meatballs halfway through cooking. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cook the meatballs until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the meatballs should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Air-fried meatballs are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried meatballs. They are crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. They are also a great way to use up leftover ground meat. Serve air-fried meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, barbecue sauce, or honey mustard sauce.
