Instructions

Serving Suggestions
- • These Moroccan Spiced Lamb Meatballs are perfect served over a bed of fluffy couscous, garnished with additional fresh herbs for a pop of color. Pair them with a side of roasted vegetables or a crisp salad to balance the rich flavors of the meatballs. For a complete indulgent experience, enjoy with a glass of chilled white wine or a refreshing mint iced tea.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or until warmed through, to maintain their crispy exterior. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.
