Instructions

In a large bowl, combine all the meatball ingredients together. Using a stand mixer is the easiest way to mix this or can be done by hand.

Use a cookie scoop to make meatballs a little over 1 inch in diameter. Place in meatballs in basket of air fryer.

Spritz the meatballs with avocado oil or olive oil.

Cook in air fryer at 350° for 10 minutes.

While the meatballs are cooking combine the BBQ sauce ingredients.

Spoon BBQ sauce liberally over each meatball and cook for 5 more minutes.

Notes

For the bread crumbs, I save the heels of our gluten-free bread (Canyon House) and store them in a freezer bag in the freezer. When I have several slices I run it through my food processor to make bread crumbs. I’ve made this with dried or fresh bread and it works great with both.
