Description
A quick and easy method to prepare frozen meatballs using an air fryer, resulting in crispy exteriors and juicy interiors in just 12 minutes without the need for thawing.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- Frozen meatballs (as many as desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking temperature.
- Arrange the Meatballs: Place the frozen meatballs in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow hot air circulation.
- Cook the Meatballs: Air fry the meatballs for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to promote even browning and crispiness on all sides.
- Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to verify that the internal temperature of the meatballs has reached 165°F (75°C) to ensure they are fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Serve: Remove the meatballs from the air fryer once they are cooked through and crispy on the outside. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or incorporate them into your meals.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to achieve even cooking and crispy texture.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size and brand of meatballs as well as the air fryer model.
- Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps prevent meatballs from sticking and promotes uniform browning.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure food safety.
- Meatballs cook quickly; avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.
