Instructions
- 1
To a large bowl, add all the ingredients except oil. Lightly whisk the egg first, then gently combine all the ingredients together. Make sure you don't over-mix or else the meatballs will be tough. Use your clean hands or a spatula to lightly fold together for just a couple seconds.

Use a 1½ tbsp cookie scooper or measuring spoon to divide the mixture into 20 pieces. Roll into balls.

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating function, simply turn on and let heat up for 4-5 minutes. Spray the bottom with oil and add the meatballs. Air fry for 8-12 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165°F, shaking or flipping halfway.
