Mac and Cheese Bites In The Air Fryer
You won’t believe how easy it is to make mac and cheese bites in the air fryer! They’re crispy, golden, & full of melty cheese.

- ½ teaspoons dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoons paprika
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup of marinara for dipping
Instructions
- Using cold leftover mac and cheese and a cookie scoop, scoop out the mac and cheese and then roll using the palm of your hand. Place them on a piece of parchment paper and once they are all rolled, place them in the freezer 30 minutes to an hour.
- In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs and seasonings.
- In another small bowl, beat the eggs and set them aside.
- When your mac and cheese balls are chilled, roll them into the egg mixture and then into the bread crumbs.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees. Spray the tops of the bites to make them extra crispy. Cook for 5 minutes, and then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes till they are golden.
