Ingredients
  

Meatball Mixture
  • 450 g ground lamb
  • 120 ml breadcrumbs
  • 60 ml grated Parmesan cheese
  • 60 ml chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cucchiaino salt
  • 0.5 cucchiaino black pepper
  • 0.5 cucchiaino ground cumin
  • 0.5 cucchiaino ground coriander
  • 1 large egg

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, and egg. Mix until well combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should have approximately 16 meatballs.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
  4. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the meatballs in a single layer in the basket, making sure they are not touching.
  5. Cook the meatballs in the air fryer at 400°F for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Once cooked, remove the meatballs and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

These meatballs are great served with a side of tzatziki or a fresh salad. The air fryer ensures they are cooked evenly and remain juicy. For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
