Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 85/15 lean
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs plain
- 1 large egg beaten
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano Greek style
- 0.5 tsp salt to taste
- 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, chopped parsley, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined—do not overmix.
- Shape the mixture into small, 1-inch oval meatballs, packing them firmly so they hold together in the air fryer.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Arrange the keftedes in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they don't touch for maximum crispiness.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the keftedes are golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Let rest for 2 minutes before serving with tzatziki or a fresh salad for a complete Air Fryer Dinners meal.
