Air Fryer Savory Meatloaf with Glaze

Collect all necessary components for the dish. Preheat an air fryer oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

To prepare the meatloaf, blend breadcrumbs and milk in a medium-sized container until they form a harmonious union. Allow this mixture to rest for 5 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld together. Combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, egg, thyme, salt, and pepper in a single bowl, stirring gently to avoid overmixing the ingredients.

Simultaneously, shape the beef mixture into two rectangular shapes, approximately 3 x 4.5 inches in size.

To create the glaze, merge ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl, setting it aside for later use.

Thoroughly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for a more efficient cleanup process. Place the meatloaves in the basket and generously spray with cooking spray. Roast the meatloaves in the preheated air fryer oven until they are nicely browned, approximately 20 to 25 minutes, brushing them evenly with the ketchup mixture every 18 minutes of cooking. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 155 degrees Fahrenheit (68 degrees Celsius).

Remove the meatloaf from the basket and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with thyme leaves and indulge in the finished dish!
