Description

Cook frozen meatballs quickly and evenly using an air fryer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag frozen meatballs (about 1 lb)
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Place the frozen meatballs in the air fryer basket in a single layer if possible. Do not overcrowd the basket.
  3. If using oil, lightly spray or toss the meatballs with the oil.
  4. Air fry for 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
  6. Check the internal temperature to confirm they reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit for safety.
  7. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For crispier meatballs, increase the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  • If your meatballs are larger, you may need to add 3 to 5 minutes to the cooking time.
