Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, tomato paste, coconut aminos, chopped parsley, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cumin.
Mix everything together thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until well combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
Form the mixture into a loaf shape on the prepared baking sheet.
Lay the bacon strips over the top of the meatloaf, slightly overlapping each strip and tucking the ends underneath the loaf.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160Β°F (71Β°C).
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Paleo Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf!
