Air frying lasagna is a convenient way to enjoy this classic dish with a crispy texture and without heating up your oven. Here’s a simple recipe to make air fryer lasagna:Ingredients:
- 6 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: cooked ground beef, Italian sausage, or vegetables
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Assemble the lasagna in an air fryer-safe baking dish or pan. Start by spreading a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the dish.
- Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, trimming them to fit if necessary.
- Spread a layer of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of marinara sauce.
- Repeat the layers, alternating between noodles, cheese mixture, and marinara sauce, until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of marinara sauce on top.
- If desired, sprinkle additional shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
- Cover the baking dish or pan with aluminum foil, making sure it’s not touching the lasagna to prevent sticking.
- Place the covered lasagna in the preheated air fryer and cook for 20-25 minutes.
- After 20-25 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and continue to cook the lasagna for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are crispy.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the lasagna from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the air fryer lasagna hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer lasagna as a comforting and satisfying meal!
