Making frozen meatballs in the air fryer is quick and easy. These air fryer frozen meatballs make the perfect dish!
I love making fresh food in my air fryer. But we all know the air fryer is perfect for also cooking up frozen food. I love using it to cook frozen meatballs. It's easy, doesn't require heating up a big oven, and they turn out delicious!
And then you can use them in so many ways. With pasta. With bbq sauce. In a salad. So many options!
Ingredients
- Frozen meatballs. Yup, that's it. You will probably want more ingredients, but it depends on how you want to serve them!
How to make air fryer frozen meatballs
Simply preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes, then add your meatballs!
Cook until hot and warmed all the way through.
Serve as desired.
What to serve with the meatballs
The meatballs are delicious served in a CAVA copycat bowl, or with some creamy harissa pasta.
If serving with a side dish, I love making air fryer parmesan potatoes or air fryer sweet potato wedges.
Recipe tips
- Cooking times will depend on the size of meatballs! Take one out and cut open if you need to or use a meat thermometer to judge internal temperature.
- I find that shaking the basket with meatballs a couple of times during cooking helps them cook nicely.
- While the recipe specifies adding 8 meatballs, you can add more than that! Add however many you want, just make sure they are in a single layer.
