1-Getting started: Begin by gathering all your ingredients and preheating the air fryer to 400°F, as this sets the stage for even cooking. Mixing the ingredients properly ensures the meatballs hold together and develop great flavor.

2-First: combine all ingredients except the beef and pork in a medium bowl and mix well. This step lets the seasonings blend before adding the meats. Next, add the beef and pork; mix to combine everything evenly without overworking the mixture.

3-Divide the mixture into 16 meatballs for uniform size, which helps with cooking time. Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, then reduce the temperature to 380°F for the actual cooking. Let them cook for 12-14 minutes until browned and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.

4-Detailed Cooking Steps: Combine dry ingredients and seasonings first. Add meats and form meatballs. Preheat and cook in the air fryer. Check for doneness and rest before serving.

5-After cooking, let the meatballs rest for 3 minutes to keep them juicy. Check them early to avoid overcooking, as air fryers can vary.
