Quick, crispy, and golden meatballs cooked to perfection in the air fryer. A hassle-free way to prepare your favorite frozen meatballs!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag of frozen meatballs (Italian-style recommended or your favorite variety)
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil.
- Arrange the Meatballs: Place the frozen meatballs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd to allow proper air circulation.
- Cook: Air fry the meatballs for 12–15 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning. If necessary, flip the meatballs for uniform crispiness.
- Check Doneness: Check the internal temperature of a meatball with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C). If needed, cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to achieve your desired level of crispiness.
- Serve: Once fully cooked, remove the meatballs from the air fryer. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, pasta, or as part of a meal. Enjoy!
