Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg, large
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound ground beef, lean
  • 1/4 cup panko crumbs

Instructions

  • Mix the seasonings. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, fresh parsley, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  • Add the meat and crumbs. Add the ground beef and panko crumbs to the bowl. Mix thoroughly using a fork or your hands until just combined—don’t overmix.

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

  • Preheat the air fryer and cook. Turn on your air fryer and preheat it to 380°F for a few minutes. This helps with even cooking and browning. Cook 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 for beef (165°F if using poultry).

  • Sauce as desired. Toss with your favorite sauce—marinara, BBQ, grape jelly-chili sauce, or something spicy for a kick. Or leave them as-is.
