Ingredients
  

8 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned recommended)

Olive oil spray

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

    Assemble the Lasagna: Place a cooked lasagna noodle on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cheese filling on top of the noodle. Roll it up tightly into a cylinder. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.

      Coat in Breadcrumbs: Carefully dip each rolled lasagna in breadcrumbs, ensuring it is evenly coated. Gently press the breadcrumbs onto the noodles to help them stick.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

          Air Fry the Lasagna Rolls: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the lasagna fritta in the basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Spray the tops of the rolls with olive oil. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

            Serve: Remove the lasagna fritta from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Serve with warm marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
