Method

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a small baking tray or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk and let them soak for 2 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, add the ground beef, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, carrot, zucchini, onion, garlic, ketchup, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
Mix gently with clean hands or a spoon until just combined; do not overmix.
Divide the mixture into 4 to 6 mini loaves and place them on the prepared tray.
Spread a little ketchup over the top of each mini meatloaf.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the meatloaves are cooked through and the centers reach 160°F (71°C).
Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
