Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, fresh parsley, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
    1 large egg | 1 tbsp milk | 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley | 1 tsp Italian seasoning | 1 tsp garlic powder | 1/2 tsp onion powder | 1/2 tsp fine salt | 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
    Melting butter in a saucepan with a whisk for cooking or baking.
  • Add the ground beef and panko crumbs to the bowl. Mix thoroughly using a fork or your hands until just combined—don’t overmix.

  • Form the mixture into 16 meatballs, about 1 ounce each. Roll them gently for a smooth, even shape.

  • 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.
