Notes
- Store these meatballs in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
- To freeze: Place meatballs in the freezer on a parchment lined sheet first. Then place frozen meatballs in a freezer-safe bag and remove air from bag. Freeze for 2-3 months. To reheat, let meatballs thaw in the fridge overnight then bring to room temperature before reheating in the air fryer, microwave or oven.
- To cook in the air fryer: cook meatballs at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes until they are cooked through.
