Keto Lasagna | Easy Air Fryer Lasagna Recipe

If you're looking for an incredibly easy and delicious Zucchini Lasagna, this recipe is going to make your day. Not only is it better for you, but this is actually something you'll look forward to digging in to!

Why You're Going To Love This Keto Lasagna

• Fast. This cooks up in under 30 minutes.
• Easy. Just slice the zucchini, make some layers, and pop it in your air fryer.
• Low Carb. Only 7 net carbs per serving.
• Easy Clean Up. A springform pan and a mixing bowl are the only two dishes you'll have to wash when you make this recipe.

Believe it or not, this is actually easier to make than regular lasagna. The zucchini "noodles" don't require pre-cooking and handle and layer so much easier than regular lasagna noodles.

On top of that, if you make this in the Air Fryer, it will cook much faster too. It's actually very hands-off, and that's my favorite way to cook (which is why I'm such a gadget geek, and why I make so many Instant Pot and Air Fryer recipes!)

How is This a Keto Lasagna?

Zucchini. As I'm sure you can tell from the pictures, this Keto Lasagna uses zucchini "noodles" instead of lasagna pasta. This cuts down on the carb an calorie content tremendously.

Slice. All I did was use a mandolin to slice the zucchini thin like pasta, and it layered very easily in my pan.

Cook. Use an oven safe pan. Layer the Keto Lasagna just like you would a regular lasagna, then let the air fryer (or oven) do its magic.

Perfect. This comes out so perfect with very little time or effort and you're going to feel so much better about eating Keto after you make it.

Can You Eat Ricotta Cheese on Keto?

Yes! It's high in fat, and relatively low in carbs which is great for a Keto way of eating. It has a rich flavor and an excellent texture, so it fits really well in a Keto Lasagna like this one.

How Many Layers Should a Lasagna Have?

Well, that all depends on how big you want to make it. This Keto Lasagna recipe works best with about six layers. If you want to do more than that, or double the recipe, you will need to adjust cook times.

Ingredients You'll Need

• Zucchini

For Meat Layer

• Yellow onion
• Minced Garlic
• Hot or mild Italian sausage

For Cheese Layer (mix all ingredients together in a bowl)

• shredded parmesan cheese
• Eggs
• Garlic
• Italian Seasoning

How To Make Zucchini Lasagna

1. Mandolin. Using a mandolin, slice the zucchini into long, thin slices.
2. Line. Spray a 7-inch spring-form pan with oil and arrange the zucchini in overlapping layers in the bottom of the pan.
3. Marinara. Place 1/4 cup of marinara sauce on top of the zucchini and spread evenly. 
4. Mix. In a large bowl, mix the onions, garlic, and Italian sausage. Layer the meat on top of the zucchini and spread evenly.
5. Spread. Pour the rest of the marinara sauce and spread it evenly.
6. Mix. Rinse the bowl you used earlier, and mix together the ricotta and mozzarella and 1/4 of a cup of the Parmesan cheese.
7. Layer. Spread the cheese mixture on top of the meat.
8. Parmesan. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
9. Recap. To recap, the layers are: zucchini, sauce, meat, sauce, cheese mix, parmesan cheese. 
10. Cover. Cover the pan with foil or a silicone lid.
11. Air Fry. Set the air fryer to 350F and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and cook for another 8-10 minutes at 350F until the top is browned and bubbling.
12. Cool. Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before unclasping the springform pan to serve.

Tips and Tricks

• Foil. Don't skip the foil step, or your cheese won't be as bubbly and delicious.
• Fit. Make sure your spring-form pan fits in your Air Fryer (if that's what you're using) before you add all the ingredients.
• Cool. Make sure to wait 10 minutes after cooking to release it from the spring-form pan and slicing it, or your Keto Lasagna will fall apart.
