Air Fryer Frozen Meatballs

Jen
Frozen Meatballs cooked in an air fryer –  taste like you spent hours in the kitchen making them, but in reality, they’re really simple to prepare. On the outside, they are crispy and flavorful, while on the inside, they are savory, juicy, and tender.

Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 12 meatballs frozen

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the frozen meatballs in a single layer into the basket of the air fryer.
  • Air fry the meatballs for 8-12 minutes (depending on the size)
  • Carefully remove the meatballs from the air fryer basket and serve with noodles or your favorite sauce.

Notes

Different brands of meatballs come in different sizes. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the meatballs you are cooking
Cook meatballs in a single layer on the air fryer basket. Overfilling the air basket will result in unevenly cooked meatballs.
Spray the meatballs with oil before cooking for a crispier texture. The oil will aid in the browning and crisping of the crust.
Most frozen meatballs you’ll find in the freezer section are actually already pre-cooked and will say so on the bag, so worrying about whether or not they’re “done” isn’t necessary. That being said you do want to bring them to the recommended temperature on the back of the bag to ensure that they’re heated all the way through.
