Air Fryer Swedish Meatballs

Back when we lived in Portugal, everything was always so slow. Whenever they planned something new, it would take years for it to happen and for the plan to go into action.

That was the process when we found out that they were going to be building a brand new shopping centre and that the main thing for the building was going to be an Ikea.

At that point I had never been in an Ikea before and was excited to see all their storage solutions that everyone talks about, but the main attraction was always going to be the Swedish Meatballs, something I had never tried before.

Well, in typical Portuguese style we waited and we waited and we finally got our Ikea. I’m not sure exactly how long that time was, but I think it was about 3 years.

Then on the weekend it finally opened (it was Easter) it was Easter and OMG worse than shopping for gifts on Christmas Eve. And I was looking forward to sitting in the café in Ikea and having my Swedish meatballs.

And you GUESSED IT…..way too busy and no chance of getting any. So we went into the Ikea shop and grabbed some and took them how and instead had air fryer Swedish meatballs.

They were so good compared to any other frozen meatballs we had cooked in the air fryer and Ikea soon became our go to for storage, air fryer accessories and of course some frozen meatballs that we could air fry.

Can I Cook Swedish Meatballs From Frozen?

YES, YES, YES, you can cook Swedish meatballs from frozen and you will love them! They are truly delicious and then perfect for serving with a traditional meatball sauce.

Can You Air Fry Frozen Meatballs?

Meatballs – You can cook up to a bag at once of frozen Swedish meatballs. But you can air fry less meatballs depending on how many you have in and how many people you are feeding.

You don’t need any oil because the air fryer meatballs have their own natural fat in them and they never go dry in the air fryer.

Then for the kitchen gadgets that we have used in this frozen Yorkshire pudding in air fryer recipe it has been our Philips Air Fryer. We recommend this one and its wonderful for many types of air fryer recipes.

Plus, we recommend you head over to our air fryer recipes category as we have more than 500 tried and tested air fryer recipes and have been air frying for 10 years.

    I love meatballs, especially fresh ones that have been put in the freezer. These ones cooked in the air fryer are so quick and easy to make. I made some meatball subs for us and the kids and we all loved them thanks for the tips they are a god send for newbies like me 🙂

    1. Hi Tim,

      We have never made it unfortunately so not sure how to make it or what it is made from 🙂
