Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 450g (1lb) beef mince
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
- 1 egg, whisked
- 60g (2oz) fresh breadcrumbs
- 30ml (2 tbsp) finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2.5ml (1/2 tsp) salt
- 1.25ml (1/4 tsp) freshly ground black pepper
- 5ml (1 tsp) vegetable oil [optional]
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients, except the oil, in a large mixing bowl and incorporate everything well.
- Form 5cm (2in) in diameter meatballs, which will leave you with approximately 12 meatballs, i.e. 3 meatballs per serving.
- [Optional] Lightly brush each meatball with a bit of oil. (You don’t have to. It just means that the meatballs will be slightly dried out on the outside.)
- Place the meatballs in the air fryer. If yours has a rotating arm, remove it because the meatballs should stay put while cooking.
- If your air fryer has the functionality, cook the meatballs at 180°C for 8 minutes. My air fryer doesn’t have temperature settings and took 13 minutes to cook the meatballs. If in doubt, use a thermometer to read the internal temperature of the meatballs.
