Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the meatball ingredients and gently knead until well mixed.
Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs.
Place meatballs in the air fryer tray coated with cooking spray and spray the tops of the meatballs lightly.
Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, turning the meatballs halfway through.
While meatballs cook, combine the sauce ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat.
Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, then remove from heat to cool.
Toss cooked meatballs in the sauce and garnish with sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

These meatballs freeze well, so consider making a double batch for later.
Experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences.
Ensure the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
