1
Do not thaw. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F.
2
Spread the frozen meatballs (pre-cooked, frozen) in a single layer straight from the bag.
3
Air fry for 8 to 11 minutes, shaking the basket at 5 minutes so nothing fuses together.

Follow the package directions and check the center for doneness. Browning alone does not show that raw meat or poultry is cooked safely.

Use these settings as a starting point; thickness, quantity, and appliance model affect timing. How to use our cooking guides.

Worth knowing. Shake once. Toss in sauce AFTER cooking for crispy exterior.
