Notes
- Always preheat the air fryer before adding the frozen meatballs so the meatballs cook evenly from the inside out.
- I use a lower temperature to cook the meatballs so they turn out tender and not dried out or overcooked.
- Leave a little space between each meatball so the hot air can flow around each meatball.
- You can use beef, chicken, and even turkey meatballs in the air fryer using these directions!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Reheat meatballs in a preheated air fryer at 320 degrees for 3 to 4 minutes.
