Irresistible Air Fryer Italian Mini Meatloaves - Perfect for Two!
  • Prep Time

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces of ground sirloin
  • Divided into 3 portions, add a total of 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce
  • Finely chop 2 tablespoons of onion
  • Mix in 2 tablespoons of quick-cooking oats
  • Season with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and 1 teaspoon of dried parsley
  • Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, around ¼ teaspoon each
  • Prepare your cooking surface with a light spray of cooking spray

Step 1

Begin by preheating the air fryer to a toasty 355 degrees F (180 degrees C) for optimal cooking conditions. In a mixing bowl, blend together the sirloin, 2 tablespoons of flavorful tomato sauce, some finely chopped onion, a handful of oats for texture, a sprinkle of fragrant Italian seasoning, freshly chopped parsley, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Gently combine the ingredients until they come together harmoniously, then shape the mixture into 2 charming little loaves, each measuring around 4 1/2 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Step 2

To ensure the loaves cook evenly and don't stick, lightly spritz the inner basket of the air fryer with a touch of cooking spray before placing the loaves inside. Be sure to leave a bit of space between them to allow for proper circulation. As a final touch, delicately brush the tops of the loaves with the remaining tablespoon of tomato sauce for added flavor and moisture.

Step 3

Cook the meatloaves in the air fryer until they reach a perfect internal temperature of 165 degrees F (73 degrees C), which should take around 17 to 20 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness and enjoy your delicious homemade creations!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize reusable silicone food storage bags to keep your meatloaves fresh and ready to enjoy whenever hunger strikes.
  2. 2. Organize your freezer in a way that allows easy access to your Italian mini meatloaves - stack them in a vertical freezer bin for convenient grabbing.
