A working chef since the age of 18, Chef Luke has made a home for himself in the kitchen since childhood, when Mediterranean cuisine began to inform his culinary style. By age 20, he had risen the ranks to head chef, eventually opening his own delivery-only restaurant to serve his community during the pandemic downturn. Nothing gives Chef Luke greater joy than creating handmade food and teaching his secrets to budding cooks.

Cook the meatballs in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the cooking time. Check the internal temperature of the meatballs with a meat thermometer. They should reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
