Keto Air Fryer Meatballs
These meatballs make for a fantastic Keto Air Fryer recipe that is quick and easy to make. Meatballs make for an excellent high protein and fat item for snacking. Ground beef is combined with savory Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, grated garlic, onion, parsley, and Italian seasoning. They are rolled into balls and cooked in the air fryer. The air fryer is perfect for meatballs because they get nicely browned on the outside.
What if I don't have an air fryer?
If you don't have an air fryer, the meatballs can be cooked in a bit of oil in an ovenproof saute pan. Once browned on all sides, you can place the pan with the meatballs into a 350 F until the meatballs hit 165 F.
Are these meatballs dairy-free?
Yes! Traditionally, meatballs have parmesan cheese and even breadcrumbs, but if the fat content of the ground beef is high enough (we used 85%), then those ingredients are necessary.
Serving suggestions
Meatballs can be served as a snack with cheddar cheese cubes or spiralized zucchini noodles and pasta sauce. There are many Keto and Low carb pasta options out there, too, like palmini and more.
