Some Tips For Making Air Fryer Frozen Meatballs.

• Cook them from frozen, they tend to lose some of their flavor if you thaw the frozen meatballs first.
• Do not crowd the basket, they do not allow the meatballs to cook evenly. You can always do another batch.
• While the meatballs are air frying, it is a great time to heat up your sauce.
• Shake your basket half way, this results in a better even cooked dish.
