Oh, let me tell you ’bout them air fryer pork meatballs, honey! They’re just so easy to make, and they come out all nice and crispy on the outside, just like we like ’em! If you ain’t got an air fryer yet, you really should think about getting one. It’s like magic for cooking!
First thing first, you gotta gather your ingredients. You need some ground pork, salt, pepper, and a few spices if you feel fancy, like garlic powder and onion powder. You can also throw in some breadcrumbs and an egg to hold it all together. Now, don’t you go overthinking it, just mix it all up in a big bowl! Use your hands, that’s how my mama used to do it.
Now, once you got your mixture ready, you wanna roll it into little balls. Not too big, about the size of a golf ball should do. If they’re too big, they won’t cook right in that air fryer. Make sure you space ’em out on the tray; they need room to breathe, just like us when we’re hot and tired!
Then you gotta preheat that air fryer. Set it to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit. While it’s heating up, you can just sit and sip on some tea or whatever you like. Once it’s hot, place your meatballs in there. Don’t crowd ’em, remember? Let ’em have their space! Cook ‘em for about 12 to 15 minutes. You can check on ‘em halfway through and give ’em a little shake so they cook evenly.
Now, let me tell ya, the smell in the kitchen while these babies are cooking? Just divine! You’ll be hungry just waiting for ’em. You wanna make sure they’re cooked through, so grab a thermometer. They should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit inside. That’s when you know they’re safe to eat, no funny business!
When they’re done, take ’em out and let ’em cool for a minute. You don’t wanna burn your mouth off, trust me! You can serve ’em with some dipping sauce or just eat ‘em plain. They’re good any way you slice it!
If you got leftovers, don’t fret! Just pop ‘em back in the air fryer at 350 degrees for about 5 to 7 minutes to heat ’em up again. They’ll taste just as good as the first time, I promise you that.
Now, what I love about these meatballs is they’re so versatile. You can use ‘em in spaghetti, or toss ‘em in a sandwich, or even just munch on ‘em as a snack. It’s like a party in your mouth!
So, there you have it, simple and tasty air fryer pork meatballs. Just follow these steps and you’ll be the star of the kitchen! Anyone can do it, trust me, even if you’re not much of a cook. Now go on, give it a try!
