Put butter paper in a small oven tray. Make sure the fryer fits in the air fryer basket.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Slice the zucchini into ¼-inch-thick slices and place in a single layer, in batches, in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes or until tender.
Reduce the air fryer temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Meat Sauce
While the zucchini is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced meat, onion, and garlic and cook until no longer pink. Drain off any fat.
Add pasta sauce and Italian seasoning to the minced meat and simmer for 2 minutes.
Cheese Sauce
Mix the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
Assembly
Spread 1/2 cup of the meat sauce in the bottom of the baking pan.
Layer with half of the zucchini slices and the remaining meat sauce. Top with the ricotta mixture.
Place the zucchini on top and finish with the remaining sauce.
Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 40-50 minutes or until cooked. Remove the foil and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, until the cheese, is golden brown.
Rest for at least 15 minutes before applying.
Notes
Additional beef may be added to the meat sauce.
Zucchini contains a lot of water, and cooking it first helps keep the dish from being watery. As it rests, the lasagna will release a little water.
