Servings: 4
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 onion finely diced
- 1 carrot finely diced
- ¼ bell pepper finely diced
- 1 pickle finely diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or fresh minced garlic
- ½ tablespoon paprika
- ½ tablespoon oregano dried
- 1 pound ground meat (500 grams) pork or beef
- 1 egg whisked
- 2 tablespoons parmesan grated and good quality Parmigiano Reggiano
- 2 tablespoons bread crumbs or almond flour
- 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce I used Diana's
Instructions
- Warm the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and bell pepper, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns translucent. Add the pickle, if using, and the salt, paprika, and oregano and stir to combine. Take the pan off the heat and set it aside to cool a bit.
- Add the ground meat to a large bowl with the slightly cooled seasoned vegetable mixture. Add the egg, parmesan, if using, and bread crumbs. Using clean hands or a spoon, mix well.
- Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap and place the meat mixture in the center. Wrap the plastic around the mixture and shape it into a loaf that will fit in the basket of your air fryer.
- Remove the meatloaf from the plastic wrap, place in the air fryer basket, and brush with barbeque sauce, if using.
- Cook at 380°F (200°C) for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, open the air fryer and brush with more barbecue sauce, if using. Bake for another 8 minutes, checking the loaf twice to make sure it's not getting burnt.
- Let the meatloaf cool a bit and enjoy.
