Crispy Air Fryer Lasagna Fritta

Ingredients

• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 lasagna noodles
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian seasoned)
• Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions

1. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Drain and let them cool on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
3. Take a cooked lasagna noodle and spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling along its length, leaving a small margin at the edges. Roll the noodle up tightly, ensuring that the filling is sealed inside. Repeat with remaining noodles and filling.
4. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Season the flour with a pinch of salt.
5. Take each lasagna roll, coat it in flour thoroughly, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
6. Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for about 5 minutes.
7. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the breaded lasagna rolls in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between each roll. Spray the tops lightly with olive oil spray.
8. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Check them halfway through and shake the basket gently to ensure even cooking.
9. Once finished, remove the lasagna fritta from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Pair with marinara sauce for dipping.
