- Mix garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
- Into a large bowl add ground beef, spices, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoon bbq sauce, and mix until combined. Don't overmix.
- Take about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture and shape it into a ball. Place them on a baking sheet. This makes about 16 meatballs.
- You can line the Air fryer basket with parchemnt paper or spray it with cooking oil and place the meatballs on it.
- Working in batches, air fry meatballs for 10 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway. You can use a meat thermometer and check for an internal temperature of 165˚F.
- Remove the air-fried meatballs to a large bowl and add enough barbecue sauce to coat them. You can then reheat these meatballs for a few minutes to caramelize them if you prefer.
Notes

- Freeze - place the meatballs in a parchment-lined sheet and freeze. Put the frozen meatballs in a freezer bag and freeze them for 3 months.
