Craving classic comfort food but short on time? Your air fryer is the secret weapon! Forget hours in the oven, air fryer meatloaf is quicker and yields a delicious, crusty exterior with a juicy, tender inside. But how long to cook meatloaf in air fryer?
Generally, a 1.5-2 pound meatloaf will need approximately 30-40 minutes at 350°F (175°C). However, this can vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of your loaf. The most important thing is to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) using a meat thermometer.
For smaller meatloaves (around 1 pound), start checking for doneness around 25 minutes. Always preheat your air fryer for optimal results. Consider adding a simple glaze during the last 5-10 minutes for extra flavor and caramelization. Enjoy a healthier, faster, and equally satisfying meatloaf experience with your air fryer!
