Air Fryer Marie Callender’s Lasagna Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 (13.8 oz) package Marie Callender’s frozen lasagna
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Unwrap the frozen lasagna and carefully remove it from the cardboard tray. If it’s a single, large piece, cut it in half or thirds to fit comfortably in your air fryer basket.
- Place the lasagna pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Leave some space between the pieces for even air circulation.
- Air fry for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Carefully remove the lasagna from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- For crispier edges: During the last 5 minutes of cooking, slightly increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (204°C).
- No need to thaw! You can cook the frozen lasagna directly in the air fryer.
- Monitor closely: Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model.
FAQs about Air Fryer Marie Callender’s Lasagna
Can I use a different frozen lasagna brand?

What if my air fryer doesn’t have a basket?
If your air fryer has a tray or oven-style design, you can still cook the lasagna in it. However, you might need to adjust the cooking time slightly as air circulation may be different. It’s recommended to check on the lasagna frequently during cooking.
Can I add extra toppings?
Absolutely! Before air frying, feel free to sprinkle your lasagna with additional cheese, breadcrumbs, or your favorite herbs for a personalized touch.
Is air-fried lasagna healthy?
