Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese about 2 cups
  • pounds 1 large zucchini
  • ½ tbsp dried basil
  • ½ tbsp dried parsley
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • salt & pepper to taste

Meat Sauce

  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ pound ground beef
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cup pasta sauce homemade or jar
  • 2 garlic cloves

Instructions
 

  • 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.
