If you are using the oven, preheat now to 400°F.
In a medium bowl, add the impossible meat, panko, onion, parsley, basil, ketchup, nutritional yeast, garlic, and salt. Using your hands, massage the ingredients together until everything is fully combined.
Preheat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Do not allow it to smoke.
Meanwhile, form the mixture into evenly sized balls – about the size of golf balls. Roll them between the palms of your hands in a circular motion to form an even ball. As you roll them, add them one by one to the pan. Work quickly to ensure they cook somewhat evenly.
Once you add the last ball to the pan, it’s likely time to turn over the first meatballs. Cook them until they’re browned on 3-4 sides before removing them to an air fryer or preheated oven.
Cook in the air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes or the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes. Serve once they have sufficiently browned all over and are cooked through.
