Ingredients

• 1 Kirkland Frozen Lasagna (individual portion or full tray if it fits in your air fryer)

• Optional:

  • Grated parmesan, chopped parsley, or crushed red pepper for topping

  • Garlic bread or side salad for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) and preheat for 4–5 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Lasagna

• Remove plastic film from the top of the frozen lasagna

• If your air fryer basket or tray fits only a portion, cut the lasagna to size

• Place the lasagna (in its foil tray or a heat-safe container) directly into the air fryer

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook at 360°F for 30–35 minutes for individual portions

• For full-size trays, extend to 40–50 minutes, checking periodically

• Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the center

• If the top begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil in the final 10 minutes

Step 4: Cool Slightly & Serve

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving—this helps the layers set and keeps it from falling apart when sliced.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use a Thermometer for Accuracy

Always ensure the center reaches 165°F for food safety.

Cover With Foil Midway if Needed

If the cheese begins to brown too fast, cover with foil to prevent burning.

Add Cheese in the Last 5 Minutes (Optional)

Sprinkle extra mozzarella or parmesan near the end for even more melted goodness.

Let It Rest Before Serving

Resting helps the layers firm up and improves the overall texture.
