Can I bake this in a regular oven instead of an air fryer?

Yes! Bake the meatloaf at 375 degrees F for 50-60 minutes.

I don't have almond flour, can I use regular flour instead?

Yes, you can use any type of flour your like. You can also use breadcrumbs, but then the recipe won't be gluten-free or grain-free.

Can I make this recipe with ground turkey or ground pork?

Yes, but you won't need to bake it as long. Just be sure your meat thermometer reads at least 145 degrees F for pork or 170 degrees F for turkey.

Do I need to line the air fryer basket with parchment paper?

You can if you want to make the air fryer easier to clean up, but be sure to cut slits in the paper to let the hot air circulate. You can do the same with aluminum foil if you wish.

Can I use the Instant Pot to make this recipe?

Yes, but you'll need the air fryer lid.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

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.
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.
Bake the meatloaf for 20 minutes.
Then, pause the air fryer and spread the rest of the ketchup on top. Bake for another 10 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer shows 165 degrees F.
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.

Notes

You can use grainy mustard or yellow mustard.
Be sure to use sugar-free ketchup to keep this recipe low-carb.
You can make the loaf ahead of time and wrap it in plastic wrap so it’s ready to go straight into the air fryer come dinner time.
Don’t overmix the meatloaf or it can become tough instead of tender.
Make sure to rest the meatloaf before slicing. Otherwise it will fall apart on you as you attempt to slice it.
