- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even cooking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, grated Parmesan, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form Meatballs: Shape the meat mixture into evenly sized meatballs to ensure they cook uniformly in the air fryer basket.

- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
