Air frying works wonders for lean meatballs, browning and slightly crisping them on the outside while the inside remains juicy. We parcook each of two batches of meatballs in the air fryer (to firm them up) and then pile them on top of each other in the basket to finish cooking together. This ensures they’re all hot and perfectly done at the same time. Some very finely chopped onion, garlic, and zucchini lend both moisture and flavor; you’ll want to be sure to pulse them in a food processor to achieve the right texture.
