Ingredients
- ½ cup Zucchini 3 oz, thinly sliced
- ½ cup 4% Cottage cheese
- ½ cup Marinara tomato sauce
- ½ cup Mozzarella 2 oz, shredded
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- In a small oven-safe baking dish (or loaf pan), layer half the marinara sauce, zucchini, cottage cheese, and mozzarella.
- Repeat the layers and top with Italian seasoning.
- Place the dish in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
- Let it cool for a few minutes and enjoy every cheesy, low-carb bite.
Notes
- To get uniform slices of zucchini, use a mandoline or a sharp knife on a cutting board. This ensures even cooking and less frustration.
- Salt the zucchini slices and let them sit for 10 minutes before patting them dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. This removes extra liquid and keep the lasagna layers firm.
- Try ricotta cheese in place of cottage cheese for a more traditional lasagna flavor.
- Add a layer of cooked ground beef, ground chicken, or Italian sausage for a protein-packed twist.
- Throw in fresh basil leaves, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, or even add nutritional yeast for a hint of umami.
- For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the zucchini strips with a touch of extra virgin olive oil and garlic powder before layering.
