Instructions

  1. Mix Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl combine all ingredients except for the meat. Stir and rest for 10 minutes so the crackers can soak up the liquid. Add the meat and mix just until combined (don’t over mix).
  2. Form 15 meatballs about the size of golf balls, and gently sprinkle them all around with flour. Preheat air fryer to 400.
  3. Air Fry: Spray the basket with cooking spray, add meatballs in one layer leaving a little space between each. Air fry for 9-11 minutes or until cooked through. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  4. Store leftover meatballs in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Serving Size: 3 meatballs
  • Make Ahead Instructions: raw meatballs can be made one day ahead of time (depending on the freshness of the meat), stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Freezing Instructions: for uncooked meatballs, "flash freeze" on a cookie sheet first to prevent them from sticking together. Both cooked and uncooked meatballs freeze well in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then cook or reheat in the air fryer.
