Forget the noodles! This keto air fryer lasagna bake is the perfect way to cut the carbs while enjoying that delicious Italian flavor!
Who doesn't love lasagna? My adoration for this savory treat goes far beyond "love." Some days, you can pretty much call be Garfield. I'm not ashamed of that!
Thankfully, there are no shortage of delicious keto lasagna recipes out there. Most popular noodle substitutions range from egg and cheese based noodles like in this low carb keto lasagna to zucchini noodles like in this zucchini lasagna.
Both options are delicious and great for a low carb diet...but you know what's even easier? Skipping the noodles all together! The meats, the cheeses, the savory sauce and seasoning are in my opinion the very best parts of any lasagna and this recipe, made easy in your air fryer, might just convince you of the same!
