What Is A Lasagna Fritta

For me, the easiest way to explain a lasagna fritta is a deep-fried lasagna. But, since we are not deep frying here, you will opt to air fry. Air frying will give you that exact crunch but without all the excess oil that you would have cooked it in. This is a slightly healthier version if you will to a classic recipe. 

I wouldn’t classify this recipe as healthy by any means, thanks to the pasta, cheese and breading. But since you air fryer over deep fry it is called “healthier”. 

How To Prevent Frittas From Sticking To Air Fryer Tray 

You will find that it is not recommended to use a cooking spray to coat your basket or air fryer trays. It can hurt the enamel. But you can buy a spritz bottle that you can pour regular oil in to spritz onto your basket or tray that will help prevent your breaded lasagna from sticking to the tray. 

Also use a spatula to gently lift up the frittas so that you can hopefully remove without removing any of the breading. 

Do Leftover Lasanga Frittas Store Well 

Like any coated food you will find these are best when served fresh. If you do end up having some leftover you will simply store in an airtight container in the fridge. 

Allow them to cool down before you place in the fridge or it will create condensation on the container making the frittas soggy. 

Then eat them cold or top to reheat them in the oven, air fryer, or toss in the microwave for a quick reheat. If you opt to reheat in the oven, cover with aluminum foil at first so they don’t overcook and dry out. 

Can I Pan Fry These Lasagna Frittas Instead Of Air Frying 

Yes, you will prep the exact same way, and then instead of air frying, you can simply heat a pan with oil and then drop them in. Cook until the coating on the outside is nice and brown, flipping halfway through cooking. Depending on how much oil you use and how hot your oil is will depend on cook time.
