AIR FRYER MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 392 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, onion, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Knead and mix thoroughly.
• Transfer beef mixture to a baking pan and smooth the top. Press mushrooms into the top and coat with olive oil. Place the pan into the air fryer basket and slide into the air fryer.
• Set air fryer timer for 25 minutes and roast meatloaf until nicely browned.
• Let meatloaf rest at least 10 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.

AIR FRYER MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F according to manufacturer's instructions.
• In a large bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan, milk, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder.
• Create a sling using a large piece of foil, roughly 2-3 inches wide that will extend beyond the sides of the meatloaf so you can lift it out after. Lightly grease the top and place the sling into the basket of the air fryer.
• Shape the meatloaf mixture into a log shape (about 6 inches long by 3-4 inches wide and 1.5-2 inches deep) and place on the sling in the air fryer.
• Cook for 30-40 minutes, checking and covering the top with foil partway through if necessary to prevent burning (this is a bigger problem with smaller air fryers, as the element is closer to the meat). Cook until the internal temperature is a minimum 160 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, stir together the ketchup and brown sugar.
• Open the air fryer, brush on the glaze on top and cook for 2 more minutes.
• Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing (the longer it rests, the easier it will slice).

AIR FRYER CALZONES WITH TWO-INGREDIENT DOUGH

Steps:

• Combine flour and yogurt together in a bowl to form a soft dough.
• Transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Roll out into a large circle, about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. Use a cereal bowl (or any other smaller bowl), coat the rim with flour, and press down into the dough to cut out 4 circles.
• Spread pizza sauce on the bottom half of each circle, leaving about 1/16th inch of rim space. Sprinkle sauce with mozzarella cheese, then top cheese with 4 slices of pepperoni.
• Fold the top half of the circle over, forming a half circle. Press the edges together to seal. Using the tines of a fork, crimp all the way around the sealed edges of each half circle.
• Spray each calzone with cooking spray and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
• Set an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray. Set calzones into the air fryer basket.
• Air-fry for 5 minutes, flip calzones, and cook until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Depending on the size of your air fryer you might need to work in batches.
• Check calzones for color and air-fry them for few more minutes if necessary. Remove and allow to cool a few minutes before serving.
