I have always wondered how lasagna would turn out when air fried and I finally managed to get around to making it.
I am calling this a 'quick and dirty' version as I used a lot of store bought ingredients for the sake of speed.

The final layer (I made two layers for this lasagna, the number of layers will, of course, be determined by the size of your air fryer and the size of your pan) Sprinkle the final layer with shredded mozzarella cheese, and then place the pan into the air fryer. Boil and stir together butter, white pepper, milk, parmesan, and ricotta cheese.
Air Fryer Lasagna Fritas instructions
- Mix Ricotta, Parmesan, Mixed cheese, parsley & Italian seasoning in a bowl to make a thick paste..
- Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees for later. Boil lasagna noodles according to the box instructions. Once cooked, lay out noodles and allow 2 mins to cool..
- Once cooled, spread a small layer of cheese filling along the noodles. You will be folding/rolling the noodles, make sure it’s a thin layer, they will be thick, I promise..
- After covering, I folded the noodles 3 times, I’mein not talented enough to roll them. The cheese will act as an adhesive to allow the noodles to keep shape. When you’ve folded/rolled your noodles, stand them on their side on a tray and stick them in the freezer to set for 60 mins(1 hour).
- After the hour they should be stiff and should not come undone. Using the remaining 4 eggs, whisk them together. Dip the lasagna noodles and then cover them in the breading. This won’t crisp a lot, but it’ll add a subtle crunch..
- Once breaded place in air fryer leaving enough space so noodles aren’t touching. Cook at 400 degrees for 10 mins..
- While noodles are frying, add Ragú sauce to a oven safe dish and “bake” at 300 degrees for the duration of the frying noodles. Pour red sauce into a sauce pan to a simmer..
- When air fryer has finished cooking the noodles, place the noodles in the pan with the white sauce standing up. Pour red sauce over noodles and serve. I added a little more cheese, don’t judge, and it turned out delicious.
These are basically miniature lasagna rollups which have been breaded and fried. First Boil your lasagna noodles as directed on the package. When the noodles are finished, lay them out on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese along each noodle. An air fryer will allow you to put a healthier, but still totally delicious, version on the table.
