AIR FRYER MEATBALLS RECIPE

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oats provide fiber and are a healthier alternative.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheddar

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: applesauce

Flaxseed meal acts as a binder and is plant-based.

In a mixing bowl, add 500 grams of lamb mince.

Add 1 heaped tablespoon of ginger and garlic paste to the lamb.

Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, adjusting to taste.

Add 1 tablespoon of dried coriander.

Incorporate 1 heaped tablespoon of gram flour to help bind the mixture.

Add a handful of finely chopped fresh coriander.

Crack in 1 egg and mix all the ingredients thoroughly using your hands.

Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, spray the air fryer basket with oil and preheat it.

Wet your hands with water and form the mixture into meatballs.

Place the meatballs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are spaced out.

Set the air fryer to 200 degrees Celsius and cook for 25 minutes.

After about 13 and a half minutes, shake the baskets to ensure even cooking.

Once the cooking time is up, check the meatballs for doneness and transfer them to a plate.

Serve the meatballs with a dip, such as a spicy green chili coriander and Greek yogurt dip.
