One of the great benefits of cooking meatloaf in an air fryer is the reduced cooking time. The circulating hot air in the air fryer cooks the meatloaf faster than a conventional oven, making it a perfect option for busy weeknights. Additionally, the air fryer drains excess fat from the meatloaf, resulting in a lighter and leaner dish. With the convenience and health benefits of air fryer meatloaf, it's no wonder that this method has become a popular choice for home cooks looking to enjoy a classic comfort food with a modern twist.
