Preheat your air fryer to 385°F.

In a large bowl, add the ground meat, egg, croutons, salt, pepper, chili powder, thyme, onion, bell pepper, carrot, and garlic.

Mix until just combined.

Form the mixture into 2 small loaves.

Place the loaves in the air fryer basket and lightly spray with oil.

Air fry for about 15 minutes.

While the meatloaf cooks, make the glaze by mixing together the ketchup, cumin, Worcestershire sauce, and hot honey.

Brush the glaze over the meatloaf and cook a few more minutes, until the meat is cooked through and the glaze looks sticky.

Top with crispy crumbled bacon before serving.

Recipe tips

Don’t overmix the meat or the meatloaf can turn dense.

Splitting it into 2 smaller loaves helps it cook faster and more evenly.

Grated carrot helps keep the meatloaf moist.

Add the bacon at the end so it stays crispy.

Use a thermometer and cook to 160°F internal temperature.
