Notes

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Make-Ahead: You can form the meatballs and freeze them raw on a baking sheet; once frozen, transfer to a bag and air fry from frozen for 15-18 minutes. Substitution: For a low-carb version, replace breadcrumbs with almond flour.
