Easiest Air Fryer Meatloaf

When you want an easy and delicious dinner that only takes 45 minutes, try this Easy Air Fryer Meatloaf. You only need five simple ingredients for this recipe that is grain-free, gluten-free, low-carb. This is a family favorite!

My husband loves meatloaf and I do too, but it can take forever to bake in the oven (see my Taco Meatloaf recipe if you aren’t in a hurry). This shortcut method uses the air-fryer to cut the cooking time in half.

This recipe is made grain-free and low-carb by using almond flour to help add texture to this traditional American dish. I also used ketchup and mustard to help add flavor.

Recipe Steps

Step One

Spray the basket of your air-fryer with non-stick cooking spray and preheat it to to 375 degrees.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, flour, egg, ketchup, and mustard. Reserve half the ketchup for the top of the meatloaf later on.

As always, please do see the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.

Step Two

Use your hands to mix together the ingredients and form them into a loaf. Then, place the uncooked meatloaf in the basket of your air-fryer.

Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the basket to help prevent smoking.

Step Three

Bake the meatloaf for 15 minutes. Then, pause the air fryer and spread the rest of the ketchup on top. Bake for another 10 minutes.

Step Four

Once the meatloaf is done cooking, turn off the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then, slice the meatloaf and serve it hot.
