Notes

Recipe Copyright The Domestic Spoon.
  • Frozen Meatballs: There’s just one ingredien. Choose any brand you love. You could even cook chicken or vegan meatballs with this same method.
  • Don’t overload your air fryer. It’s important for your meatballs to be in one single layer so the air has room to pass through. This ensures consistent cooking on all sides and perfectly crispy exteriors!
  • Be sure and shake the basket half way through the cooking time. Not only does this flip your meatballs and ensure all sides are cooking evenly, but it also gives you a chance to inspect your meatballs and adjust your cooking time. Some brands may cook in more or less time!
  • You do not need to add any oil to your air fryer but if you find your meatballs sticking slightly, a quick spray with nonstick spray will help. Alternatively, you could use parchment paper that is designed with holes for their air fryer basket.
