How to Make Low Carb Meatballs in an Air Fryer
Cris here.
We love meatballs around here and have enjoyed our low carb beef based meatballs for years but we needed a sausage based meatball for a soup we wanted to make, so we created these meatballs and boy are they good!
Notes on Low Carb Air Fryer Meatballs
- Pork Rinds might sound like a weird ingredient, but trust us, they are just perfect for this recipe!
- We have tested this recipe in the Ninja Foodi, and using the Mealthy CrispLid you can use on an Instant Pot.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can use this recipe to make your meatballs in the oven (cook at 350 until cooked through) or skillet.
- All air fryers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own unit and time adjusted as needed.

OMG this is so good. Having a very hard time keeping my hands off them till dinner.
I did change one thing. Didn’t have any heavy whipping cream, so I used plain Greek yogurt.
I’m so glad you enjoy them Anna! Great job adjusting the recipe to what you had on hand. I am so glad it turned out wonderfully!
