If you're looking for something juicy, high in protein and familiar in taste, you're in the right place.
Ingredients
Air Fryer Meatballs
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (PANKO WORKS TOO)
- parsley bunch (good amount)
- 1 egg (highly recommended for binding)
Homemade Caesar Salad
- 1/3 cup my special sauce
- 1 tbsp greek yogurt
- lemon juice
- mustard (DIJON preferred)
- 1 clove of grated garlic
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- splash of Worcestershire sauce
BIg Mac- Protein Style Sauce
- 1/3 cup mayo (or half mayo + half Greek yogurt)
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp siracha
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
1) Make the meatball mix
In a bowl, mix together:
Ground beef + salt + paprika + garlic powder + onion powder + parmesan + breadcrumbs + egg. Mix until just combined (don’t overwork—keeps them juicy).
2) Shape
Roll into meatballs, the size of golf balls (about 1½ inches each)
If the mix feels sticky, lightly oil your hands.
3) Air fry
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F
- Add meatballs in a single layer (work in batches if needed)
- Air fry 8–10 minutes, shaking/flipping halfway
- They’re done when the inside hits 160°F (if you want to get technical)
4) Assemble the bowl
Lettuce base → meatballs → onions → drizzle sauce → sesame seeds if you want.
