Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes airfying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
Several factors affect how the meatballs cook (brand, size, type of meat), so watch them closely.
Ingredients in different brands of meatballs can affect the way that they brown.
You may need to add extra time if your meatballs are large, or if you are cooking a larger amount.
Avoid adding more meatballs to the air fryer than will fit in a single layer.
Spray oil helps the meatballs to become browned and beautiful. For vegan meatballs, you'll definitely need this, but for pork or beef you may not, since there is a good amount of fat already in the meat.
The nutrition facts for this recipe are dependent on the brands of meatballs and bbq sauce that you choose.
