Crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle, these lamb meatballs are so quick and easy to make in the air fryer. Great for meal prep, serve in your favorite marinara sauce with pasta for the ultimate comfort food dinner.
Add all of the ingredinets, except the oil, to a large bowl, and combine using your hands.
Roll the mixture into balls, about two tablespoons each, and place on a lined baking sheet til ready to cook.
Spray the air fryer basket with oil to coat it and place in the meatballs in an even layer. Spray the tops of the meatballs with more oil.
Set to cook at 380F / 190c for 15 minutes, shake halfway through cooking.
Add to hot pasta sauce and serve over freshly cooked pasta.
Notes
Don't over mix the meatball ingredients. Everything should be well combined but over mixing can lead to chewy and dry meatballs rather than tender and juicy ones.
Use an oil spray bottle to get those crispy edges (not aerosol which can damage your air fryer). If you don't have one, pour a little oil into your hands and roll the meatballs in them to coat before adding to the air fryer.
For best results, preheat your air fryer before cooking the meatballs. If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat function, run it at 380F for 5 minutes before adding them in.
