This Keto Air fryer Meatloaf is delicious. Cooking in the air fryer reduces the amount of cooking time and it only 40 minutes in total to make this meatloaf. They are perfectly juicy from the interior portion and they have a nice crust from outside. I use pork rind crumbs instead of traditional breadcrumbs and almond milk to make this recipe keto-friendly and low in carbs content. This Keto Air fryer Meatloaf is also gluten-free, grain-free, & dairy-free too. This meatloaf only contains 2g fiber and 6g carbs and it is also protein rich & contains 28g of proteins/serving. This is a great dish to make before time and keep this meatloaf in the refrigerator or the freezer and take it out when there is a requirement.

- Then we again apply the glaze with the brush 5 minutes before and air fry them till it gets set.
- When the meatloaf gets done; place the meatloaf on the plate for 5 minutes then slice the meatloaf with the knife.
TIPS:
- You could utilize the meat thermometer to ensure that the meatloaf gets perfectly cooked so when the interior temperature of meatloaf reaches to 165 degrees f, then the meatloaf is done.
- We can also adjust the level of moisture according to the requirement like if it is wet then we can include the additional pork rind crumbs, or if it seems dry then we can add the splash of almond milk to adjust its consistency.
- You could also adjust the seasoning according to our preference like oregano, or Italian seasoning and add the cayenne pepper or red chili flakes to make it spicier.
