Form the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

Spray the air fryer basket with oil spray and place the meatballs inside.

Cook in the air fryer for 10 minutes at the recommended temperature.

Serve the meatballs warm with tahini sauce drizzled on top.

Garnish with chopped mint and additional dill.

Accompany with pita bread, sliced cucumber, and Kalamata olives.
