FAQs
Can I cook other frozen lasagnas in the air fryer? Yes! This recipe should work for most frozen lasagna brands. Just adjust the cooking time based on the size and thickness of the lasagna.
What if my air fryer doesn’t have a basket? If your air fryer has oven-style racks, you can place the lasagna in an oven-safe dish and cook it on the rack following the same instructions.
Can I reheat leftover lasagna in the air fryer? Absolutely! Just follow the same steps at a slightly lower temperature (around 350°F) until heated through.
How do I know when the lasagna is done? The best way is to check the internal temperature with a food thermometer. It should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption. You can also check for visual cues like bubbly cheese and crispy edges.
