Calories: 267kcal
Ingredients
- 500 g lean beef mince (1 pound)
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp breadcrumbs (optional)
Instructions
- If you are making meatballs from scratch, mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
- Using your hands, form small round balls (this recipe makes about 12, depending on size of meatballs)
- Place the meatballs in air fryer basket and cook at 180C/350F for 8 to 10 minutes. Check half way through and turn over/shake about.
- If you want to add a sauce, either make it/heat it on the stove while the meatballs are cooking or alternatively you can heat the sauce in the air fryer with the meatballs. You will need to transfer the cooked meatballs to an ovenproof dish/pan that will fit in the air fryer basket. Pour the meatball sauce on top and place container in the air fryer basket. Cook at 180C/350F for about 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce is hot.
- Serve with spaghetti and melted cheese.
