Air Fryer Kibbeh

My dad's version of Lebanese Kibbeh cooked in the air fryer. Compared to frying in the skillet with oil, the air-fried version had much more flavor, you could really taste the mint and peppers. I don't think we will ever fry it again.

  • 1 pound 97% lean ground beef

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened, or as needed


Directions

  1. Soak bulgur in a bowl of water until soft to the bite, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain.

  2. Combine onion, serrano peppers, and mint in a food processor; process until you have a paste. Transfer to a large bowl with ground beef and bulgur. Season with salt and pepper and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined.

  3. Form into small balls and rub outsides with a small amount of butter. Place in an air fryer basket.

  4. Transfer to the air fryer and set to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
