Cook Air Fryer Mac And Cheese Balls (Premade OR Frozen) Like This

• Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking and guarantees a crispy crust on the mac and cheese balls.
• Place the 16 oz of mac and cheese balls—whether premade or frozen—in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Be sure to leave space between each ball to allow hot air to circulate freely for optimal crisping.
• Cook the mac and cheese balls for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even browning. The balls should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while warm and cheesy inside.
• While the mac and cheese balls cook, gently warm 1 cup of pizza sauce in a small bowl. You can microwave it for about 30-45 seconds or heat it on the stovetop until just warmed through.
• Once cooked, carefully remove the mac and cheese balls using tongs or a slotted spoon and plate them. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of fresh chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately with the warm pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
