4. Assemble the Lasagna
Use a small oven-safe pan or dish that fits inside your air fryer basket (a mini loaf pan works great). Lightly spray it with cooking spray or oil.
Layer as follows:
- A spoonful of meat sauce at the bottom
- A piece of no-boil lasagna noodle
- A layer of cheese mixture
- More meat sauce
- Mozzarella cheese
- Repeat layers until your dish is nearly full, ending with meat sauce and a final sprinkle of mozzarella on top.
5. Air Fry the Lasagna
Place the pan in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned on top. If needed, cover with foil halfway through to prevent over-browning.
6. Let It Rest
Carefully remove the lasagna and let it sit for about 5–10 minutes. This helps the layers firm up and makes slicing easier.
🧀 Optional Add-Ins & Variations
- Vegetarian: Skip the meat and use sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach instead.
- Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes to the meat sauce.
- Cheese Lovers: Add extra mozzarella or a mix of cheeses like provolone and fontina.
🥗 What to Serve with Air Fryer Lasagna
This dish pairs wonderfully with:

- A glass of red wine or sparkling water with lemon
🧼 Cleanup Tip
Line your air fryer basket with foil (only if your model allows) or use a small baking pan to avoid mess. Be sure to check your air fryer manual before using foil.
