This air fryer lasagna is a Whole30 and Paleo-friendly twist on the classic Italian dish. It's made with ground beef, zucchini, yellow squash, coconut milk yogurt, and mozzarella cheese (or a dairy-free alternative). The lasagna is cooked in the air fryer, which gives it a crispy exterior and a tender interior. It's a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic dish without all the guilt.
Lasagna is a classic Italian dish that is typically made with layers of pasta, ground beef, cheese, and tomato sauce. It's a delicious and hearty dish, but it's also not the most healthy. This air fryer lasagna is a healthier take on the classic dish. It's made with zucchini and yellow squash instead of pasta, and it uses coconut milk yogurt instead of cheese. The result is a dish that is just as delicious as the traditional lasagna, but it's also much healthier.
