Instructions
Creating Air Fryer Pizza Meatball Subs is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Aim for uniform sizes for even cooking.
4. Air Fry the Meatballs: Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the meatballs in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are browned and cooked through.
5. Prepare the Subs: While the meatballs are cooking, slice the sub rolls open. Lay them on a baking sheet and set aside.
6. Add Marinara Sauce: Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the air fryer and toss them in marinara sauce.
7. Assemble the Subs: Place the sauced meatballs into the sub rolls. Top each sub with shredded mozzarella cheese.
8. Air Fry Again: Return the assembled subs to the air fryer. Cook for an additional 5 minutes at 375°F (190°C) until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Serve Immediately: Carefully remove the subs from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
