Servings: 8 people
Equipment
- Air Fryer (click for my favorite)
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 lb. ground pork lamb or Italian sausage also works
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients.1 lb. ground beef, 1 lb. ground pork, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 4 cloves garlic, 1 tbsp fresh parsley, 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Using clean, dry hands, work the mixture together until well combined. Try not to compact it too much—you want it mixed, but not smashed.
- Form into 1” spheres using a 2 tbsp cookie scoop, and then cook in batches at 400°F for 14 minutes per batch. If the meat is sticking to your hands, drizzle it with olive oil. This will help crisp the outside of the meatball and prevent it from sticking to your hands. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meatballs reach at least 145°F.
- Enjoy with pasta or as an appetizer.
