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.

This isn't a recipe but more of a how-to. These are great on their own or drizzled in sauce topped on pasta. Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside.
