Greek Meatballs (Keftedakia) in the Air Fryer

After testing the homemade fries, I couldn’t resist trying keftedakia in the Ninja Crispi  so that I can have a complete menu. Meatballs are a great test because they can easily dry out in an oven—but the air fryer kept them juicy while giving a nice light crust outside.

Ingredients:

• 500 g ground veal (or veal + pork mix)
• 1 small onion, grated
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 egg
• 2–3 tbsp breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• A little mint (fresh or dried)
• Salt & pepper

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl (don’t overmix).
2. Shape into small meatballs.
3. Lightly brush or spray with olive oil.
4. Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
5. Cook on Air Fry at 180°C (360°F) for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway.

Juicy, aromatic, and super easy.
