- Use a silicone muffin pan that fits your air fryer. Silicone makes it easy to remove the mini meatloaves and helps prevent sticking without needing extra grease.
- Let the meatloaves rest before serving. A short 3-minute rest allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, keeping each bite moist and flavorful.

Can this be made with ground turkey?
