AIR-FRYER KETO MEATBALLS

Air-Fryer Keto Meatballs image

I have been following a keto diet for a year and a half and have lost 130 pounds. With this recipe for air-fryer keto meatballs, you won't miss the breadcrumbs at all! I like to eat these saucy meatballs on their own, but they're also great over zucchini noodles. -Holly Balzer-Harz, Malone, New York
