Instructions
- Mix egg, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
- Lightly coat hands with olive oil to keep the meat from sticking to them.
- Add meat to egg and cheese mixture then mix together by hand until well combined.
- Use a tablespoon to divide meat into two tablespoon portions of meat.
- Add a one-inch piece of mozzarella cheese on top of one of the portions of meat then wrap it around the cheese to make a meatball. Repeat with all portions of meat.
- Install crisper plate in both baskets.
- Place half the meatballs in the Zone 1 basket, then insert basket in unit. Place the other half in the Zone 2 basket, then insert basket in unit.
- Select Zone 1, select AIRFRY, set temperature to 375°F, and set time to 8 minutes. Select MATCH COOK to match Zone 2 settings with Zone 1. Press the START/PAUSE button to begin cooking.
- When time reaches 6 minutes, press START/PAUSE to pause the unit. Remove the baskets and flip the meatballs. Reinsert the baskets in the unit and press START/PAUSE to resume cooking. The meatballs are cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- When cooking is complete, remove the meatballs and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the meatballs stay in a single layer and aren’t touching each other in the air fryer. The Ninja® Foodi® 2-Basket Air Fryer means that you can cook double the amount of meatballs at once!
- Coat your hands lightly with olive oil before mixing the meat to help keep the meat from sticking to your hands.
- Store any leftover meatballs in the fridge in an airtight container for up to five days.
