Ingredients
Scale
1 lb ground meat (beef, turkey, or chicken)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Get your hands in there for the best blending! Make sure not to overmix, as this can lead to tough meatballs.
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect crispy exterior.
Place the meatballs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space between them for even cooking. Brush with olive oil for added crispiness. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Using a meat thermometer, ensure the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) for safety. If they need more time, continue cooking in 2-minute increments.
Notes
Quick and nutritious air fryer meatballs that are meal prep friendly, packed with protein, and can be tailored to fit various dietary needs.
