What do i like about air fryer frozen lasagna

Although the microwave is the fastest appliance to cook frozen lasagna, it is definitely not ideal... The noodles become rubbery and watery. And often the cheese on top burns. Not exactly comfort food.

On the other side, oven baking does require quite a long time. Most frozen lasagnas take anywhere from 60-90 minutes to cook.

However, air fryer frozen lasagna "bakes" perfectly, but in just 40 minutes. Not only is it a quicker cooking method, it leaves the oven open! That is great for when you do not want to heat the entire house. Or you can use the oven to prepare other dishes while the lasagna air fries to perfection.

Use the air fryer to reheat non-frozen lasagna, too! It's great to quickly warm leftovers.

Recipe tips

Line the air fryer basket with a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil. This will help protect the appliance from any bubbling over cheese or moisture.
Check the dish occasionally to make sure nothing gets to crisp or burns.
Sprinkle on shredded parmesan cheese right at the end of the cook time.
Check the internal temperature of the lasagna before serving. It should be at least 165 degrees.
