    How to Cook Frozen Meatballs in an Air Fryer

    1. Add a light coat of cooking spray to your air fryer basket.
    2. Spread a single layer of frozen meatballs in the fry basket. Be sure not to overcrowd the basket, as this will prevent the meatballs from cooking evenly. If necessary, cook them in batches.
    3. Set the air fryer temperature to 200°C/190°F and the timer to 6 minutes and let it cook.
    4. After 6 minutes, remove the fry basket and give it a good shake to ensure all the meatballs cook evenly.
    5. Replace the fry basket and cook for another 6 minutes.
    6. Serve with your favourite dipping sauce and enjoy!
