Craving juicy meatballs but short on time? Ditch the stovetop or oven and embrace the magic of the air fryer! Wondering how long to cook raw meatballs in an air fryer? We've got you covered.
Generally, you'll want to air fry raw meatballs at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 12-15 minutes. However, the exact cooking time depends on the size of your meatballs. Smaller meatballs (about 1 inch) might be done in 12 minutes, while larger ones (around 1.5-2 inches) could take up to 15 minutes.
To ensure they're cooked through, use a meat thermometer! The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking; work in batches if needed.
Air frying meatballs gives them a slightly crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender and moist. Perfect for pasta dishes, meatball subs, or even as a quick and easy appetizer. Enjoy your delicious, air-fried meatballs!
