“I made this last night and it was SPECTACULAR. I do think the measurements were a little off. It made 28 1 oz meatballs for me. We made ours in the air fryer and the meatballs were super juicy. For sure a winner that will be on repeat soon.” — a cook, 5.0★
“These meatballs are delicious! I air fried them and they came out perfect. I served with Skinnytaste Mediterranean bean salad, a sprinkling of feta cheese and a dollop of fage Greek yogurt. If you like Mediterranean flavors this is perfect!” — a cook, 5.0★
