Instructions
1
|
Place the ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, milk, garlic, onion powder, basil, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix together gently just until combined. Do not over work the meat or the meatballs will be dense.
2
|
Form the meatballs into 1 1/2" balls and place on a baking sheet.
3
|
Place as many meatballs on the plate of your air fryer without overcrowding (you will more than likely need to cook (2) batches).
4
|
Cook at 390 degrees for about 10 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 165 degrees. All air fryers vary, so begin checking for doneness after 8 minutes of cooking time. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Binding Magic 🥚Mix the egg and milk thoroughly before combining with meat to create a more uniform, tender meatball texture that prevents crumbling.
- Breadcrumb Brilliance 🍞Use a mix of fresh and dried breadcrumbs for optimal moisture retention and a perfectly crispy exterior in the air fryer.
- Uniform Size Matters 🔬Use a cookie scoop or weigh each meatball to ensure consistent sizing, which guarantees even cooking and professional presentation.
- Cheese Integration Technique 🧀Grate the parmesan very finely and mix it into the meat mixture completely to distribute flavor and help bind the meatballs.
- Air Fryer Spacing Trick 🌀Leave at least a half-inch gap between meatballs in the air fryer basket to allow hot air circulation and achieve perfect browning on all sides.
