Frozen Precooked Meatballs

1. Set the air fryer at 380 degrees F. Set it to preheat for 3 minutes.
2. Add the meatballs to the air fryer basket and spread them out in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket.
3. Set the air fryer at 380 degrees F for 10 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time pull the basket out and shake it to mix the meatballs around, then put it back in to finish cooking.
4. Test the meatballs with an instant read thermometer. Since they are precooked they don't need to reach as high an internal temperature and you can eat them once they are 130 degrees or so. If you don't have a thermometer cut one open and make sure it is hot to the touch inside.
