Steps
- 1
Mix beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, and seasonings until just combined — don't overmix.
- 2
Shape into a loaf that fits your air fryer basket (about 8x4 inches). Place on parchment.
- 3
Air fry at 360°F for 25 minutes.
- 4
Mix glaze ingredients. Brush generously over the top. Cook another 8-10 minutes until glaze caramelizes and internal temp hits 160°F.
- 5
Rest 10 minutes before slicing — this keeps the juices inside.
Tip: The 80/20 beef ratio is key — leaner beef makes dry, crumbly meatloaf. Don't overmix or it turns dense. The rest time is non-negotiable for juicy slices.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 35 minutes vs ~63 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
