Air Fryer Recipes Green Beans and Cheese Sauce
Mike Garten
Forget frying meatballs on the stovetop (so messy!) or baking them in the oven—air fryer meatballs are a cinch to make and even easier to clean up. Made from a mix of sweet Italian sausage and ground beef, these meatballs are juicy, tender and crisp without the need for excess oil. Serve these as a tasty fall appetizer to pair with your favorite dip recipe or serve them over spaghetti for a classic family dinner.
Don't have an air fryer yet? Choose from our round-up of the best air fryers and you'll be set with one of our favorite tools for faster, tastier weeknight dinners. These meatballs only take about 10 minutes to cook in the air fryer, and that includes a built-in sauce of tomatoes with red chile and garlic.
In addition to the sauce, the meatballs are seasoned with Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley and a touch of balsamic vinegar for a little unexpected flavor. Feel free to add extra spices or substitutions based on what you like: red pepper flakes for spice, basil instead of parsley, or Pecorino instead of Parmesan, for example.
Got leftovers? They can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or, make a double batch (without the sauce) and keep in the freezer for up to 4 months.
