Notes

Storage:

Refrigerator: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in a well-sealed container.
Freezer: Store the cooked meatballs in the freezer for up to 2 months. Tip: let the meatballs cool completely before placing them on a wax paper lined tray to freeze (so they don’t stick together). Once frozen, transfer the meatballs to a freezer safe bag or container.
- Defrost in the fridge overnight or place directly in the oven or air fryer to reheat.
