  • Cooking spray, for the air fryer

  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped fresh, plus more for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound ground beef, lean
  • ¼ cup panko crumbs

  • Preheat the air fryer and cook. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and preheat. This helps with even cooking and browning. Cook at 375 F for 12 minutes, or until browned and cooked through, shaking the basket from time to time to ensure even browning. The internal temperature should be at least 160°F.
