     6. Continue to cook cheesy meatballs for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and golden brown on the top.                    8. Carefully remove the baking pan from the air fryer basket. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or basil, if desired. Serve hot over pasta, rice or as a sub sandwich filling. Enjoy!
