The secret to these meatballs, made easier with the air fryer, lies in its tasty glaze. Swedish lingonberry jam, balsamic vinegar, and chili sauce are cooked down into sauce that is equal parts sweet, spiced, and sour.

Reviews
At his was one of my first air fryer recipes. It turned out great. I used ground chicken instead of beef. The sauce was good also. I will make this again.
I have made this recipe twice now and it has been outstanding each time! The most tender meatball I have ever had.
