Air Fryer – This recipe requires an air fryer. We have both this Cosori air fryer, which is wonderful, and this Cuisinart Air Fryer, which we also love. The Cuisinart also has convection oven and toaster oven capacity. You can buy an air fryer with a basket with high sides that food goes into or a tray type of machine. The trays are shallow but are usually longer and can accomodate more food in a single layer.

Olive Oil Sprayer – We love this oil mister because it is super easy to use and you can spray oil, vinegar, wine or lemon juice, for example. It dispenses the perfect mist of oil, without making food too oily.

Air Fryer Parchment – This ready made air fryer parchment paper is very convenient and fits perfectly inside the air fryer basket. It prevents your food from sticking to the air fryer basket and has holes to allow the hot air to circulate properly.

Andrea says….

The key to good air fryer meatballs is not overcrowding the air fryer basket. Make sure there’s room for the air to circulate around the meatballs.

AIR FRY: Cook the meatballs at 380°F for 8-12 minutes, depending on the size of the meatballs. Shake the air fryer basket once or twice while cooking. At the end of the cooking time, use an instant read meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature of the meatballs is at least 165°F. Larger meatballs may require additional minutes to cook.

SERVE: Warm your sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat or in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl. Finally, toss the cooked meatballs with your sauce. Serve.

WHAT TO MAKE NEXT: If you want to try making your own meatballs from scratch, then you will love or Italian Meatballs recipe. These classic Italian meatballs are simply the best, and pair well with spaghetti, pizza or meatball sub sandwiches. Or try our Italian Air-Fried Meatballs.

Make Meatballs In The Oven Or Crockpot

OVEN: You can also cook meatballs in the oven at 400ºF for 10-20 minutes depending on the size of your meatballs. Make sure they reach an internal temperature of 165ºF.

SLOW COOKER: Frozen meatballs can be cooked in the crockpot for 3 hours on high together with your favorite sauce. We recommend using BBQ or marinara sauce. Before serving, check the internal temperature of the meatballs using an instant read thermometer. They should be at least 165ºF in the middle. See our Crockpot BBQ Meatballs Recipe.

Stef says….

Recipe Tips

Follow these tips to make the best frozen meatballs in the air fryer.

  • Tip: Do not defrost meatballs before cooking.
  • Tip: Cook meatballs in a single layer. Make sure they aren’t touching. Do not stack them on top of each other.
  • Tip: Spray meatballs with oil. Use an oil sprayer or basting brush to lightly oil the outsides of the meatballs. This will help them brown up nicely while cooking. They do not need a lot of oil. A fine mist is great.
  • Tip: Shake the basket once or twice while cooking. This helps the meatballs cook evenly.

How To Serve Meatballs

Our families adore meatballs in all shapes and forms. They are so versatile and incredibly delicious. Our favorite homemade meatballs are: Air Fryer Meatballs, Chicken Meatballs, Turkey Meatballs and Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs.

In case there isn’t enough time to make meatballs from scratch, we love turning frozen meatballs into super yummy dinners as well. Have you tried our Swedish Meatballs, Crockpot BBQ Meatballs or Meatball Pasta Casserole.

Or cook your frozen meatballs and make one of these quick meal ideas:

How To Store

Refrigerate: Store leftover meatballs in an airtight container or ziploc bag in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freeze: Cooled leftover meatballs can also be frozen in a freezer safe container or ziploc bag for up to 3 months.

Defrosting: We recommend cooking frozen meatballs while frozen for best results.

How To Reheat

The best way to reheat meatballs that have been refrigerated is by putting them back into the air fryer. You can also reheat meatballs in the microwave, using a microwave safe dish. Preferably use a dish with a cover to avoid splatter inside the microwave and trap the moisture inside the meatballs. Alternatively, you can also reheat leftovers in a saucepan on the stovetop.

SEAR: When oil is hot in saute mode, sear roast for about 2 minutes on each side, until it’s lightly browned. Remove and turn sauté off. Then pour beef broth into the pot and deglaze by scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.

PRESSURE COOK: Place the metal trivet into the Instant Pot. Place the roast onto the trivet. Lock the lid, seal and set to high pressure for 65 minutes. Once cook time is done do a quick release to release the pressure in the pressure cooker. Use an instant read meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature of the roast. Pork roast is safe to eat at 145°F.

SHRED AND FINISH: Remove the pork roast and shred with forks. Set aside.

Finally, place a generous amount of pulled pork on the bottom bun. Add coleslaw and additional BBQ sauce, if desired. Place bun tops on top and serve while warm.

Optional: Brush tops of buns with melted butter.

Other Ways of Preparing Pulled Pork Sliders

Pulled pork can be prepared many different ways. Besides the Instant Pot, which is of course by far the quickest method, you can also cook the pork roast in the oven or in the slow cooker for a couple of hours.

Oven Pork Roast Pulled Pork Sliders Instructions

Sear the meat in a dutch oven first then set aside. Deglaze the pan and add enough cooking liquid. Return the meat to the pot and cover with a lid. Then slow roast the meat in the oven for about 3 hours at 300ºF. Afterwards remove the meat from the dutch oven and discard any leftover cooking liquid. Shred the meat with forks, return it to the pot and mix with desired amount of BBQ sauce.

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sliders Instructions

Sear the meat in a large pan first then transfer to the crockpot. Deglaze the pan and add to slow cooker together with any other cooking liquid. Make sure you scrap the bottom of the pan for all the good stuff! Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Afterwards remove the meat from the crockpot and discard any leftover cooking liquid. Shred the meat with forks, return it to the slow cooker and mix with desired amount of BBQ sauce.

What To Serve With Pulled Pork Sliders

Pulled pork sliders are great as a game day snack or a full meal. These hearty sandwiches are often eaten alone but if you want to serve them with something try one of these ideas:

  • Dill pickles or dill pickle spears: Serve these on the side or in slices on the slider, if you prefer.
  • Beans: Baked beans are a classic side dish for pulled pork. Make your own or just open a can of baked beans.
  • Side Salad: Make an easy Italian Salad as a side salad.
  • BBQ Sauce: Serve your sliders with more BBQ sauces. A variety of sauces is great if you’re serving a crowd. Try sweet BBQ sauce or a tangy BBQ sauce with worcestershire sauce, or even a mustard BBQ sauce.

Make Ahead

BBQ pulled pork is a great meal to make ahead since you can either refrigerate it for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 3 months. Make sure you let the dish cool completely before transfering it to an airtight or freezer safe container. You can reheat the pulled pork in the microwave, on the stovetop or in the slow cooker.

Recipe Tips

Follow these tips to make the best pulled pork sliders.

  • Tip: Use pork shoulder for this recipe. Pork shoulder has just the right fat/lean ratio for roasting and therefore produces the moistest, most flavorful pulled pork.
  • Tip: Don’t skip the searing. Browning the meat before cooking locks in the juices and adds a great deal of flavor.
  • Tip: Use good BBQ sauce. Use your favorite store bought BBQ sauce or make your own. Have you tried our quick and easy to make BBQ sauce recipe?

Common Questions

What is the best cut of pork to use for this recipe?

We recommend using either a pork shoulder or pork butt roast. Both cuts have an ideal fat/lean ratio and produce juicy and flavorful pulled pork. We do not recommend using pork loin in the pressure cooker. Pork loin (same thing as pork loin roast) is a very lean cut of meat and can overcook very easily in the Instant Pot. Pressure cooked pork tenderloin is often dry and no real joy to eat.

Can I skip the searing step and just put the roast into the Instant Pot raw?

Searing the meat is important for multiple reasons. First, it caramelizes the outside of the meat and therefore adds immense flavor to your roast. Additionally, searing seals up the meat and therefore locks in all the amazing juices that keep your roast nice and moist. So, while it is not impossible to skip this step, we highly recommend searing the roast before cooking in order to create perfectly cooked pulled pork.

Is it better to use store bought or homemade BBQ sauce?

In this case you can use either your favorite brand of store bought or homemade BBQ sauce. If you feel adventurous and want to make this recipe extra special try our quick and easy recipe for homemade BBQ Sauce.

What are other toppings for pulled pork sliders besides coleslaw?

While coleslaw is the most popular topping for pork sliders, you can also top your sandwiches with pickles, more barbecue sauce, Ranch dressing, mustard, sliced jalapeños, a slice of cheddar or provolone cheese, pickled onions, or even guacamole.

Can I use this recipe to create a slider bar at my next party?

Sure can! Prepare the pulled pork as described in the recipe. Turn your Instant Pot to keep warm mode during the party. Next to the electric pressure cooker set up a basket with pre-cut slider buns, a bowl of coleslaw, extra BBQ sauce and little bowls with any other toppings you want to serve.

  • Tip: Do not line your air fryer tray/basket with foil. Allow the air to circulate freely.
  • Tip: Check the temperature. Use an instant read thermometer to make sure they are cooked.

Common Questions

Is it better to use store bought or homemade BBQ sauce?

In this case you can use either your favorite brand of store bought or homemade BBQ sauce. If you feel adventurous and want to make this recipe extra special try our quick and easy recipe for homemade BBQ Sauce.

Can I marinate air fryer ribs overnight?

Yes, of course. You can rub the ribs with the spice blend, then cover them tightly and refrigerate until you are ready to cook them. Air fryer ribs can marinate for up to 24 hours.

Are baby back ribs pork or beef?

Baby back ribs come from pigs. Even though their name might suggest different, baby back ribs do not come from young pigs. They are simply smaller/shorter than spareribs and therefore called baby back. They are the leanest kind of ribs and when cooked properly turn out tender and the meat falls off the bone.

Is it better to remove the membrane from ribs?

We recommend removing the membrane (or silvery skin at the back of the ribs) before seasoning and cooking them. The membrane keeps the seasoning and heat from properly penetrating the meat and also turns into an unappetizing looking and leathery skin during cooking.

Can I use spare ribs in this recipe?

You can use any type of rib in this recipe. Cooking time might need to be adjusted because spare ribs are larger than back ribs.

    HOW TO MAKE NACHOS AHEAD

    Nachos are best served fresh out of the oven, hot and crispy; they don’t keep or reheat well. The best way to make them ahead is to prep and store the ingredients for this appetizer separately (in bowls or baggies in the fridge) until it’s time to combine them on the baking sheet and put it in the oven. Once hot, you’ll want to serve it immediately.

    TIPS FOR THE BEST SHEET PAN NACHOS

    ✔️ Keep an eye on your nachos in the oven. Don’t overcook them. The cheese should be just melted, not crusty when cooked.

    STORAGE TIPS

    Refrigerate: We do not recommend refrigerating nachos as they are best served fresh out of the oven. However, you can store individual ingredients in the fridge in air-tight containers for 2-3 days if you plan to make more. Chip, however, should be kept in the pantry in a sealed container so they don’t become stale.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    For perfect results every time, here are answers to the most common questions about cooking easy homemade nachos.

    What can you put on nachos besides cheese?

    The question is really what *can’t* you put on nachos? Our recipe uses chicken but you could easily swap that for ground beef, chili or beans. For vegetables you can add tomatoes, onions, corn, black olives, and jalapeño peppers. You can also add avocados (or guacamole) and pico de gallo or your favorite salsa. That includes mango or pineapple salsa.

    How do you keep nachos crispy?

    One way to keep your chips crispy longer is to pre-bake your chips for a few minutes at 350ºF. Then top with a layer of shredded cheese, which will protect the chips from other toppings that steal your chips’ crunch.

    Is it better to bake or broil nachos?

    We recommend baking, not broiling your nachos, because baking is hot enough to melt the cheese but also gives the flavors time to meld together. Broiling cooks hot enough to melt cheese but too hot to allow enough time for the flavors to blend.

    What is the secret to great nachos?

    Truly great nachos are hot, crispy and full of toppings. It’s important when layering toppings that you evenly distribute them to ensure there are no sad, naked chips. The other important thing is to add plenty of cheese because nachos is primarily about chips and cheese. You can never have too much cheese.

    What are the best chips to use for nachos?

    The best chips are thick, corn tortilla chips. You can make your own but there are plenty of delicious store bought chips out there to choose from.
