  • Form the meatballs into uniform sizes: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Preheat the air fryer: This will help the meatballs cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer: Leave some space between the meatballs so that they can cook properly.
  • Cook the meatballs in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of meatballs, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer.
  • Serve the meatballs hot: These meatballs are best served hot out of the air fryer. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a main course.
