Preparation

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.
In a large bowl, place the ground beef (or turkey).
Add in the almond flour, grated Parmesan, beaten egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, and salt and pepper.
Thoroughly mix until combined. Form 1-inch meatballs using your hands.

Cooking

Arrange the meatballs in the air fryer basket, ensuring there's enough space between each to allow air circulation.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
If your air fryer is smaller, you may need to work in batches.

Serving

Notes

For extra flavor, sear the meatballs in a skillet for a minute before air frying. Experiment with different herbs and spices for customization. Make larger batches for meal prep.
