How To Make Air Fryer Italian Sausage Balls

In a large bowl mix together the ground Italian sausage, Italian seasoning, shredded cheese, and almond flour. Mix well.

Pro Tips:

• This recipe will work in any Air Fryer Basket or Oven Model. I have made them through the years in the Ninja Food, Instant Pot Vortex, GoWise, PowerXL, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and Maelthy Lid. The recipe will remain the same. The cooking time will vary slightly.
• For best results, try to shape all of the meatballs in about the same size, so they all cook up at the same time.
• Try using a cookie scoop, if you have trouble shaping the Air Fryer Italian Sausage Balls.

LEFTOVERS AND REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS

These make for a great next-day meal, as long as they are stored correctly. For best results, let them cool to room temperature, and then place them into an airtight container. They will last in the refrigerator for about 3 to 5 days.

To Reheat them, place them into the air fryer basket or in the microwave and heat until warmed through.

FREEZER INSTRUCTIONS

These freeze very well, so if you have been looking for a great meal-prep recipe, this is one of my favorites.

To freeze, prepare as directed in the recipe below, but don’t cook them. Place them on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Then place the baking sheet into the freezer, until the meatballs are frozen solid.

Remove the frozen meatballs from the baking tray and place them into a freezer bag, they will last about 1 to 2 months.

Cook them per the directions below, but add a few minutes, since you are starting them from frozen.
