Air Fryer Asian Meatballs
These delicious Air Fryer Asian Meatballs are so easy to make and ready in just 20 minutes! Perfect for a quick appetizer or meal with rice!
Servings: 4 servings (5 meatballs each)
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- ½ cup breadcrumbs or pork rind panko if you want to lower carbs
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce divided
- ¼ cup finely diced green onion
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp dry ginger
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Mix ground pork, breadcrumbs, ¼ cup sweet chili sauce, green onion, soy sauce, spices/seasonings, and egg in a large bowl until well combined.
- Shape into 2-inch balls and place on a plate until ready to cook.
- Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray, then place the meatballs about 1 inch apart in a single layer in your air fryer basket (you may have to cook in batches). Air fry at 400 degrees for 8-9 minutes until cooked through to 145 degrees.
- Toss in the remaining sweet chili sauce and serve!
Notes
- These meatballs make a really good appetizer but also taste great with rice, cauliflower rice, and stir-fried vegetables!
- Gluten-free breadcrumbs or ground pork rinds can replace the breadcrumbs if you prefer.
- Meatballs freeze really well for up to 3 months, and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- If doing these in batches, I found that the first batch takes about 9 minutes, the second batch takes about 8 minutes (just because the air fryer is already preheated at that point).
