Ingredients Needed:

Tomatoes – 1 can

Garlic – 2 teaspoons (frozen chopped)

Lasagna Sheets – 8

Seasonings – Parsley, Oregano, Salt & Pepper

Tomato Puree/Paste – 1 tablespoon

How To Make:

Preparing the Ingredients: Start by peeling and dicing the onion. Load the onions into the air fryer basket and give them a light spray with extra virgin olive oil. Cook the onions for about 3 minutes at 180°C/360°F until they become translucent and aromatic.

Soaking the Lasagna Sheets: While the onions are cooking, place the dried lasagna sheets into a large casserole dish filled with water. Allow the lasagna sheets to soak until they become soft. Once softened, remove them from the water and let them sit on a clean work surface to drain off any excess liquid.

Cooking the Minced Beef: Transfer the cooked onions into a silicone dish. Add the minced beef, garlic, and seasoning into the dish. Air fry the mixture for 5 minutes at 180°C/360°F. Stir the mixture and then continue air frying for an additional 4 minutes at the same temperature until the beef is browned and cooked through.

Assembling the Lasagna: Move the cooked minced beef into a mixing bowl. Add in the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, garlic, and remaining seasonings. Mix everything well to combine.

In the silicone dish, layer the cooked minced beef followed by a layer of lasagna sheets. Repeat the layering process until you’ve used up all the ingredients, finishing with a generous topping of cheese sauce.

Air Frying the Lasagna: Place the assembled lasagna into the air fryer and cook for 15 minutes at 180°C/360°F. Keep an eye on it until the lasagna is bubbling and golden on top.

Serving Your Delicious Creation:

Once the air fryer signals that your lasagna is ready, serve it hot alongside some air fryer garlic bread and a crisp salad for a complete meal experience.
