AIR FRYER MEATBALLS

After cooking meatballs in the air fryer, I will never bake them in the oven again. The insides stay nice and tender while the outsides get a slight crisp on them. The best part is that you can make them ahead of time and freeze for later use. I have included those directions in the notes. Dip meatballs in marinara, if desired.

Categories     Air Fryer

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 pkg uncooked Italian sausage, mild, sweet, or hot

Steps:

  • Since Italian sausages are already preseasoned and have a higher fat content, you don't need to do any prep work for this recipe. I like to take the sausage out of the fridge for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Air Fryer Italian Sausage TemperatureCook on 360 F. Lay the sausage in a single layer on the air fryer basket, leaving room on all sides. No need to preheat the air fryer, just lay the sausages on the basket and put in at 360 F. Air Fry Sausage Cook TimeCook the Italian sausages in an air fryer oven for 6 minutes flip over, and continue cooking for 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F. Some air fryer models could take slightly longer to cook. Be sure not to overcook the sausages as they'll start to shrivel and juices could start leaking out of the sausage. Remove the Italian sausages from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. It takes at least 5 minutes for the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the meat and make every bite juicy and moist. Enjoy!
