Step 1
Start by giving your air fryer basket a quick spray with some oil, then let it heat up to 390°F (200°C). In a big bowl, mix together the ground chuck, egg, breadcrumbs, mayo, onion powder, and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined. Shape the mixture into six small loaves. Arrange the mini meatloaves in the basket, making sure they have a little space between them so they cook evenly. Cook them for about 30 minutes until they’re nicely browned and cooked through. Once done, spread a bit of ketchup on top of each one, then pop them back in the air fryer for another 3 minutes to set the glaze. Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
