Cutlets in an air fryer
Description
I prepare the minced meat myself—don't be lazy, your meatballs will turn out much tastier. I'm using pork, but you can use any other meat or poultry. The meatballs will be just as delicious as those fried on the stove, but thanks to the minimal amount of oil, they're much healthier. Using an air fryer, we achieve a crispy crust without extra calories.
