Notes & Tips
1- I have used lasagna pasta rolls for this recipe, but you can use egg rolls as well and the rest of procedure will remain the same.
2- You can add additional ingredients of your choice such as small sausage pieces and pepperoni. Just make sure that any additional meat items should be cooked before adding them to lasagna rolls.
3- Instead of spraying the air fryer basket, you can spray rolls as well.
4- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket, if you have a small air fryer, you can cook in multiple batches.
5- You can also use cream cheese instead of ricotta because cream cheese is more accessible and much cheaper!
