Frozen Meatballs in the Air Fryer
Learn how to cook frozen meatballs in the air fryer for an easy appetizer or meal! The 2-ingredient sauce is simple and delicious.
Servings: 13 servings (4 meatballs each)
Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen meatballs 26 ounces total, 1/2 ounce size meatballs
- 1/2 cup grape jelly
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F for 3 minutes.
- Pour meatballs into the air fryer, cooking them in a single layer with a little room between each if at all possible. You may need to cook in multiple batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket every 3-5 minutes for even cooking.
- While meatballs are cooking, mix together the jelly and barbecue sauce. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir until smooth.
- Once meatballs are cooked through, toss with grape barbecue sauce in a bowl until well coated, then serve. For an easy potluck dish, pour into a slow cooker and keep on "warm." Alternatively, serve with the sauce on the side so that guests can dip!
Notes
I used the 1/2-ounce meatballs because they're a great size for toothpick appetizers! If you are using 1-ounce meatballs, cook for 12-15 minutes instead.
