Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground lamb or beef
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoon granulated onion
- 2 Tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, cumin, granulated onion, parsley, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
- Mix the ingredients together thoroughly using your hands to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Form the seasoned lamb or beef mixture into small 1-inch balls, using gentle pressure to ensure they stay tender.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350F for three minutes.
- Place the meatballs into the air fryer basket in a single, non-overlapping layer.
- Cook at 350F for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to brown all sides evenly.
- Verify the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160F before serving.
Notes
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure proper airflow for a crispy crust.
- If your appliance is small, cook in multiple batches.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure food safety.
