- 2 Tablespoons ketchup
- ½ cup onion diced
- 1 egg or flax egg
- 1 Tablespoon mustard

Instructions
- To make your Beyond Meat meatloaf, start with your protein in a bowl. The process is essentially a dump-and-stir method. The items can be added in any order. However, this is how we add them.
- Dice onions and add to the mixture.
- Add the flax egg or egg (whisked) to the bowl.
- Measure out your breadcrumbs or panko and add them to the mixture bowl.
- Dump the spices into the bowl.
- Add the ketchup and liquid smoke to the mixture.
- Stir to combine all ingredients. (It's okay to use your hands!)
- Shape the mixture into a loaf shape. Put the air fryer meatloaf into a baking dish on top of parchment paper. Bake at 375°F for 35 minutes.
- Mix the glaze ingredients together.
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven.
- Using a big spoon or a pastry brush, add the glaze to the meatloaf.
- Return the meatloaf to the oven and continue cooking at the same temperature for 25-30 minutes. Let the air fryer meatloaf stand for 10minutes. This will help the ingredients unify, and it will help when you go to cut it.
Notes
- Can substitute an egg with a flax egg to make vegan. To make a flax egg, mix one tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water. Mix and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to set and thicken.
- You can add vegetables to this recipe. Nice additions are ½ of diced carrots or ¾ c of chopped bell pepper. If you enjoy mushrooms, you can also add them to your air fryer meatloaf. Just be sure that you dice them very small so they cook through.
- If you want to make Paleo Meatloaf, you can sub out the breadcrumbs and sub in cassava flour or almond flour.
- Do not SKIP the “resting” part of this air fryer meatloaf recipe. You need to let the meatloaf sit and rest to cool down. This will help you cut into the air fryer meatloaf.
- Use a serrated knife to cut your air fryer meatloaf into slices. This type of knife will help prevent the meatloaf from breaking apart when cutting.
- You need to check on your air fryer meatloaf every so often. You need to check to ensure it isn’t crisping too quickly or burning. If you notice that the top of your air fryer meatloaf is starting to burn, you can place foil on top to help prevent it. Be careful that you secure the foil so it doesn’t fly up into the air fryer’s heating area.
- Don’t try to rush this air fryer meatloaf recipe by increasing the temperature. Cooking at a lower temperature helps to keep the meatloaf moist.
- Cooking times may vary a little depending on how you shape your loaf.
