Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, combine 1¼ pounds ground meat, 1 small grated zucchini, ⅓ cup seasoned breadcrumbs, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Mix until just combined.
-
Step 3.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a small loaf. Place the loaves on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Brush the tops and sides of each loaf with 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard.
-
Step 4.
In a separate bowl, toss 3 small cored and cut apples (each cut into 8 wedges) with 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, ¼ teaspoon cayenne, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
-
Step 5.
Arrange the apple wedges around the meatloaves on the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the meatloaves are cooked through (165°F on an instant-read thermometer).
-
Step 6.
Remove from the oven and garnish with snipped chives before serving.
