Air Fryer Meatballs Recipe
Description
The Air Fryer Meatballs Recipe uses a blend of ground beef and pork sausage combined with quick-cooking oats soaked in milk to add moisture and binding without dry breadcrumbs. Finely chopped onions and Worcestershire sauce contribute savory notes. After mixing and a short rest, the meatballs are rolled to either a small 1-inch or larger 2-inch size for serving versatility. They are cooked in a preheated air fryer at 350°F, ensuring even cooking by shaking the basket regularly. Timings vary slightly based on size, with smaller meatballs taking about 10 minutes and larger ones about 15. This method yields meatballs that are browned outside with a tender and juicy center, avoiding the need to bake or pan-fry in oil. They can be served as an appetizer, with pasta, or in sandwiches depending on the portion size chosen.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ pound pork sausage or ground turkey
- ¾ cup oats quick-cooking
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons onion finely chopped
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together until well combined, let rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll either 1-inch or 2-inch sized meatballs, depending on how you want to serve them, and place in a single layer in the air fryer, without them touching. Do so in batches if necessary.
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes.
- Cook meatballs at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes for 1-inch meatballs and 15 minutes for 2-inch meatballs, shake basket every 5 minutes for even cooking. Cook times can vary some, I recommend checking at 8 and 12 minutes respectively.
