Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use Foil Tray or Transfer Safely

Plastic trays are not air fryer-safe—use a small foil pan if needed.

Cover If Browning Too Fast

Loosely tent foil over the top to prevent cheese from burning.

Let It Sit Before Serving

Resting helps the lasagna set and prevents cheese from sliding off.

Cook Longer for Larger Portions

A double-sized or family-style tray may need 5–10 more minutes.
