Directions

1. To make the sheet pan meatloaf with veggies: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Coat a half-sheet pan with cooking spray and sprinkle with a bit of breadcrumbs, this will help absorb the juices during cooking. Add the vegetables to the sheet pan and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.

2. In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients for the meatloaf. Mix well to combine and form several thick patties – these are the “mini meatloaves”.

3. Arrange the meatloaf patties evenly into the prepared sheet pan. Arrange the vegetables around the meatloaves

4. In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients together for the sauce. Brush the mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf

5. Bake until the meatloaf is cooked through and slightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. The vegetable should be crips-tender and the meat should reach an internal temperature of 160ºF (71ºC).

6. Remove the meatloaf and veggies from the oven. Garnish with chopped parsley and red chili pepper flakes, if you like. Enjoy! ❤️

Tips for the meatloaf and veggies recipe

• Feel free to add a kick of spice with a good pinch of Cayenne for the meatloaf mixture!
• You can make this meatloaf in one piece, just add about 5 minutes to the cooking time.
• For a leaner version, you can use ground turkey to make the meatloaf. Cook until it reaches 165ºF (75ºC).
• To make the meatloaf gluten-free, use cornflake crumbs instead of breadcrumbs.

How to keep the meatloaf from falling apart

Here are a couple of tricks to ensure the meatloaf holds together in beautiful slices:

• Use the right amount of egg and breadcrumbs. They act as a binder that glues the ground beef together.
• Try using ground meat with a finer grind. coarse ground beef won’t mix well with the binders and may crumble once cooked and sliced.
• Mince the onion and garlic as finely as possible because large chunks will prevent the meatloaf from holding together.

How to keep meatloaf leftovers

You can keep any meatloaf and veggies leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven until heated through.
