    Sheet Pan Mini Meatloaves and Sweet Potatoes

    This easy dinner recipe for sheet pan mini meatloaves and sweet potatoes makes a healthy weeknight meal. I used ground beef for the meatloaf paired with perfectly roasted sweet potatoes. This one pan meal can be prepped in advance so it's ready to serve in 45 minutes.

    This is my favorite way to make meatloaf! Since they are smaller they cook quicker than full size meatloaf and then you have perfect individual servings. I like that each meatloaf serving is browned on the outside and juice on the inside. It's like everyone gets a corner piece!

    Ingredients

    • Olive Oil
    • Sweet Potatoes
    • Sea Salt
    • Ground Black Pepper
    • Dried Rosemary
    • Dried Sage
    • Ground Beef
    • Yellow Onion
    • Gluten Free Bread Crumbs
    • Egg
    • Ketchup
    • Coconut Aminos
    • Dried Parsley

    Instructions

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

    Chop the sweet potatoes into even cubes. In a mixing bowl stir and coat the sweet potatoes cubes with the olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and sage.

    Pour the sweet potatoes on ⅔ of the baking sheet pan and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.

    While the sweet potatoes are baking make the meatloaf.

    In the mixing bowl add the ground beef, finely grated onion, bread crumbs, egg, ketchup, coconut aminos, parsley, salt and pepper. Using your hands or a spoon mix the ingredients together thoroughly.

    When the sweet potatoes come out of the oven form the meat mixture into four evenly sized meatloafs and carefully lay them out on the empty ⅓ of the baking sheet pan.

    Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes more.

    Remove from oven and let cool slightly before plating and adding some ketchup to the top of the mini meatloaves.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I have to use sweet potatoes for this recipe?

    No, you could easily substitute yukon gold or roasting potatoes cubed for this recipe. I also like to substitute or add brussel sprouts when they are in season. Be sure to chop the brussel sprouts in half and to cube the potatoes into even sizes so they all cook evenly.

    How do I make my sweet potatoes not dry?

    It is really important to put the cubed sweet potatoes in a bowl with the ingredients and stir them around to really coat the potatoes in oil and herbs. If you pour the sweet potatoes onto the sheet pan and then pour the ingredients over top they may stick or get dry. The key is to really coat the potatoes in the oil on all sides.

    Gluten Free Air Fryer Apple Fritters

    This easy recipe for gluten free air fryer apple fritters is the perfect dessert or breakfast for fall. These are made from scratch and then air fried for a healthier version of this fall classic dessert. These donuts are made in under 30 minutes with cinnamon, fresh fruit and a yummy glaze.

    a light blue plate of gluten free air fryer apple fritters with glaze drizzled over top sitting next to a basket of red apples and two cups of coffee

    This is one of my favorite fall breakfasts with a big cup of coffee. These are quick and easy to make to take to a gathering or if you have guests. Be sure to make them in uniform sizes so they will all cook at the same rate. I like them a little bigger than the palm of my hand and about an inch thick.

    I find that if I try to make them too thick they don't cook as well all the way through to the center. The dough will not spread very much, so the size you make them is the size they will be once they are done air frying.

    • Milk
    • Eggs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does it take to fry fritters in the air fryer?

    For these gluten free air fryer apple fritters I air fried them at 380 degrees for 5 minutes on one side and then flipped them and air fried them at 380 degrees for 3 minutes more.

    It is really important to flip them! If you don't flip them they will be over done on one side and under done on the other side. Flipping the donuts gives them a nice golden brown color on both sides.

    Can I air fry donuts?

    Yes! Using an air fryer instead of deep frying the donuts or fritters in oil is a much healthier way to make them. I like to spray a bit of oil on each side of the donuts to give them a nice texture but it just takes a little bit of oil.

    For these gluten free air fryer apple fritters I cut a sheet of parchment paper to fit into my air fryer basket. This keeps the donut dough from falling through the ventilation holes. The apple fritters will still get enough ventilation and will cook fine with the parchment paper.

    Stuff I Love

    What I'm Watching - We just devoured the first few episodes for Nine Perfect Strangers on Hulu. I loved this book and the show is really good so far. I can't wait to watch the last couple of episodes when they come out in the next few weeks.

    What I'm Listening To - Leon Bridges new album Gold Diggers Sound. I've been a huge fan of Leon Bridges for years. You've likely heard something by him on a favorite tv show. This album is so good!

    What I'm Reading - I'm almost done with Women, Food and Hormones: A 4-Week Plan to Achieve Hormonal Balance, Lose Weight, and Feel Like Yourself Again. Honestly, I didn't realize it was a book about eating Keto. I've tried Keto a few times and with my Hashimoto's it's not a good fit for me. I wish it would because I've heard other people have great success following a plan like this.

    What I'm Loving - I ordered these olive green ladies joggers and I'm loving them. I didn't know if I would like that they aren't stretchy, but I love how they fit and their a nice light weight for fall.

    What I Want to Get - I've got this faux eucalyptus garland in my cart right now. I think it would be perfect to use for my Thanksgiving and Christmas table decorations.

    Favorite Kitchen Items for Fall Baking

    Favorites From Around The Web

    I can't help but start to look at Halloween decor. These pumpkin shaped string lights are so cute! They would be perfect along railing or above a fireplace.

    I love my houseplants even more as I head inside for fall and winter. I've been looking at these braided hanging baskets to try to fit a few more plants into my small space.

    I've been loving all the layered necklaces I'm seeing for fall. This pretty necklace in gold is inexpensive and would be perfect for this season.

    One of my favorite fall and winter clothing items is flannel pajama pants. I love to wear them around the house on cold days. This pair has serious 90s vibes with this plaid print.

    Speaking of plaid, all the oversized plaid flannel shirts this season are amazing. I've always loved a flannel shirt layered over a graphic t-shirt with comfy jeans.

    I'm loving the dark nail polish for fall. I can't decide if this polish is green, gold or a bit black, but I love it. It's in my cart right now and might just be what I wear all season long.

    I love a comfy pair of mules to wear with jeans. This pair at Target is really cute and would be perfect all season.

    I also found this faux leather fanny pack that I really want. I think you are either team fanny pack or you hate them. I think they are super convenient and this one is really nice looking.

    This belted cardigan in cream is so pretty! It would be perfect to wear with the flannel pajama pants above or with a dress. I love pieces like this that are warm and versatile to go from fall to winter.

    Favorite Things September 10, 2021

    Some of my favorite things are fresh garden vegetables. These zucchini, cucumbers, kale, green beans, green tomatoes on the vine and basil are all from my garden.

    Fall Favorites for Your Home

    I'm a huge fan of fall colors! I love the rusts, cream, dark brown, mustard yellows mixed with gold. This season's colors for home items is full of these lovely shades. I also love that there are so many pumpkin items. A simple pillow, ceramic pumpkin on a shelf or table runner instantly makes my home feel like fall has arrived (even if it's still 85 outside).

    Stuff I Love

    What I'm Watching - I'm loving Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy on HBO! It is so well done and now I'm dreaming of going back to Italy and eating all the food.

    What I'm Listening To - The Armchair Expert Umbrella Podcast episode 22 with Reese Witherspoon and Kristen Bell was so good! Two of my favorites chatting was worth the listen.

    What I'm Reading - I can't wait to read The Book of Magic (Practical Magic #2) by Alice Hoffman. I have a copy coming and I think it will be the perfect book for October!

    What I'm Loving - These new ultra soft black leggings I got at Target. They are $18 and the perfect weight for going from summer into fall. I'm not giving up my uniform of leggings with everything any time soon! I ordered black and now I want a couple more colors.

    What I Want to Get - This button up utility shirt in dusty green is in my cart right now. It would be perfect to wear over the leggings I mentioned above!

    New Women's Arrivals at H&M

    Favorites From Around the Web

    I'm loving all the 90s things coming back in style! I had a favorite blackberry colored lipgloss from Clinique that went on the perfect color for fall! I just found this lip shine from e.l.f. in a similar color that I want to try.

    I also used to love the super dark red nail polish and I found this new shade from Essie that I can't wait to try for this fall.

    Have you seen all the cute shackets? They're a jacket and shirt combination that is the perfect warm layer. I love this plaid version from Shein that's only $25!

    I have to confess that I've already been looking at the Halloween stuff. I'm loving this cute glass food storage container with pumpkins, these treat bags with a jack-o-lantern face and these fun cookie cutters!

    Target has a new houseware collaboration with Opalhous and Jungalow. More is coming out Sunday and then again later this month. So far I'm loving these short tumbler glasses, this black and gold flatware set and this scallop edge serving bowl.

    I use my dutch oven all winter long. It is old and a little beat up, but that's the beauty of a dutch oven they last for years. I love this pretty cream Hearth and Hand dutch oven at Target. I really love that it's $50. I've never thought that you need a dutch oven that costs hundreds of dollars to cook a yummy soup or slow roast anything.

    One of the reasons I love fall is that boots come back into season. I love a good pair of boots to keep my feet dry and toasty. This maroon pair is in my cart, I also looked at this army green pair and these classic riding boots in cognac. They're all so pretty!

    I love a wood cutting board. This wood cutting board at Target is a lovely color and perfect for chopping up all the veggies for soups and stews this fall and winter.

    As the nights start to get cooler it's officially becoming sweatshirt season. This tie dye women's sweatshirt is so fun! I'm always a fan of a full zip sweatshirt as a layer. I love the thick neck band, arm bands and waist band on this sweatshirt. And this three quarter zip sweatshirt in cream or cocoa are both perfect!

    I recently got a couple of new serving spoons. I'm not sure what happens to serving spoons, but around here they are kind of like socks without mates. No one seems to know what happened to them. I love the size and weight of these spoons. They are perfect for all the side dishes and the holiday season.

    Baked Kale and Zucchini Pilaf

    This easy recipe for gluten free baked kale and zucchini pilaf is made with jasmine rice and lots of green veggies. It's a perfect side dish with steak, chicken or on it's own for a light meal. This rice casserole has cream cheese and spices for a delicious, creamy flavor.

    I'm always looking for ways to use all of the kale and zucchini I grow in our garden. It's my favorite to have savory recipes that aren't the typical baked goods. Don't get me wrong, I love a good gluten free zucchini bread or cookie, but adding more greens to a meal is always a win.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is pilaf?

    Pilaf is a rice dish that is usually cooked in stock or broth. It includes spices, vegetables and sometimes meat. The idea of pilaf is cooking the rice along with all the other ingredients. I love that pilaf makes for an easy side dish that can be cooking in the oven while I finish the rest of the meal.

    How do you keep kale and squash pilaf from getting watery?

    It's really important not to skip the step of cooking the zucchini on the stovetop before adding the rest of the ingredients and baking. Cooking down the vegetables will evaporate off some of the moisture. 

    Then you will add the rest of your ingredients and bake covered for 30 minutes. It's very important that you use a dutch oven or other dish with a tight fitting cover. This will allow the rice to absorb the vegetable stock and the excess moisture from the zucchini.
