Juicy Air Fryer Meatballs
Description
This recipe mixes ground beef and pork with seasoned breadcrumbs, egg, milk, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper to form a well-balanced meatball mixture. After mixing, the mixture is divided into 16 equally sized meatballs. The air fryer is preheated, and the meatballs are arranged in a single layer to allow even cooking.
The temperature is initially high to brown the exterior, then lowered slightly for finishing. The meatballs cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, ensuring food safety while maintaining juiciness. A rest period after cooking allows juices to redistribute inside the meatballs.
These meatballs can be served with sauces or accompaniments of your choice. The air fryer technique reduces cooking time and cleanup, making this a practical option for home cooking.
Because air fryer models can vary, checking the meatballs a few minutes before the expected time can prevent overcooking. Leftovers store well in airtight containers refrigerated for four days or frozen up to one month.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- ½ pound ground pork lean
- ⅓ cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except beef and pork in a medium bowl. Mix well.
- Add beef and pork and mix to combine. Divide into 16 meatballs.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
- Place meatballs in a single layer in the air fryer. Turn air fryer down to 380°F.
- Cook meatballs for 12-14 minutes or until browned and the center of the meatball reaches 165°F.
- Rest 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Check meatballs early as air fryer cooking times may vary; the internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to a month.
