Vegan meatloaf from the Airfryer

As a child, my mother knew exactly what made me happy at the table: homemade meatloaf. In the evening with a fresh tomato salad or just as leftovers for lunch on a crispy fresh roll. Nowadays, I eat less and less meat, yet I sometimes miss that old-fashioned meatloaf. It’s not necessary at all, because did you know that you can make such a roll very tasty without a crumb of minced meat? This ’meatloaf‘ is made from lentils and vegetables and is also completely vegan. Delicious in the evening with some grilled vegetables or a fresh salad, but also great to take to the office. A dab of mustard or a slice of avocado and you have a delicious lunch. Easy to make, just in your Philips Airfryer XXL. This one is now even larger in size (very handy) and has Twin TurboStar technology. With this, the Philips Airfryer XXL extracts fats from the food, giving you delicious and healthy vegan meatloaf. Are you joining me?

  • A handful of walnuts
