In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly brush the air fryer basket with olive oil.
Place the meatballs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook in batches.
Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown.
While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly.
Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to a bowl and pour the balsamic glaze over them. Toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately over pasta, in meatball subs, or as appetizers with toothpicks. Enjoy!
