Sweet and Spicy Air Fryer Meatballs
Description
I am always on a quest for meatballs that pack a sweet and savory punch. These air-fryer meatballs are a snap to pull together and can be served over rice or buttered noodles.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 cup crushed ritz crackers
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 to 2 tablespoons louisiana-style hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
Directions
- Preheat air fryer to 380°. In a large bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls.
- In batches, arrange meatballs in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until they are lightly browned and cooked through, 12-15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine sauce ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Serve with meatballs.
