Creating Air Fryer Mac and Cheese Bites is a straightforward process. Follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Macaroni: Begin by cooking the elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the Bites: Use your hands to form small balls or bites from the cheese mixture, about one inch in diameter.
4. Coat with Breadcrumbs: Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each bite in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
5. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for about 5 minutes.
6. Arrange the Bites: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the mac and cheese bites in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between each bite.
7. Air Fry: Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and crispy. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove the bites from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes.
9. Repeat: If you have additional bites, repeat the air frying process until all are cooked.
10. Serve Warm: Enjoy them hot, as they are best served immediately for optimum texture.
