Ingredients
1/2
cup
onion
2
cloves
garlic
1/4
cup
fresh parsley
1
pound
lean ground beef
or other ground meat
1
cup
bread crumbs
1
egg
1
teaspoon
salt
1/2
teaspoon
black pepper
Instructions
Put the onion, garlic, and parsley in a food processor and process until minced.
1/2 cup onion,
2 cloves garlic,
1/4 cup fresh parsley
Put the vegetables in a bowl and add the ground meat, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and pepper.
1 pound lean ground beef,
1 cup bread crumbs,
1 egg,
1 teaspoon salt,
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Use your hands to mix the ingredients until combined, but don't overmix.
Gently shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. This recipe will make about 24 balls.
Place them in the basket of an air fryer. Cook at 400 F for 10 minutes. There is no need to flip them over.
Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer and verify that it has reached 165 degrees F internally.
Notes
You can also bake these in the oven at 350 F for 25-30 minutes.
To flavor these you can add more seasoning, such as Italian seasoning.
Replace some, or all, of the breadcrumbs with parmesan cheese if desired.
Don't overmix the ground meat mixture, and don't squish it together. These will have a lighter texture if they are mixed gently.
Change up the types of meat and spices to make multiple types from one recipe.
