How to Make Deep-Fried Lasagna Bites (Step-by-Step Recipe)

Ready to transform simple lasagna into crispy, irresistible bites? Follow these steps carefully, and let’s create a snack that might just outshine the main course.

1. Chill the Lasagna

First things first: Take your cooked lasagna (already cut into squares) and pop it in the fridge. Why? Chilling helps the lasagna hold its shape, making it easier to handle when you're ready to fry.

2. Cut into Bites

Once chilled, slice the lasagna into small squares or triangles about 2 inches across. Smaller pieces mean a perfectly crisp edge on every bite and a size that's ideal for dipping.

3. Set Up Your Breading Station

Bowl 1: Mix together 1 cup of flour with your seasonings — 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
Bowl 2: Whisk 2 eggs with ½ cup of milk. This mixture will help the dry ingredients stick.
Bowl 3: Combine 1½ cups of Italian breadcrumbs with ½ cup of grated Parmesan and 1 tsp of Italian seasoning for that final crunchy coating.

4. Coat the Lasagna Bites

Dip each lasagna piece first in the seasoned flour, ensuring it’s fully covered. Shake off any excess.
Next, submerge it in the egg mixture, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure it’s well-coated for the best crispy texture.

5. Heat the Oil

Pour 2-3 cups of vegetable oil into a deep pan or fryer and heat it to 350°F (175°C). You want enough oil so the bites can float freely, ensuring even frying.

6. Fry Until Golden

Fry the coated bites in small batches. They’ll need about 2-3 minutes per side to turn golden brown and crispy. Don’t crowd the pan—give them some space to sizzle!

7. Drain & Serve

Transfer the fried bites onto a plate lined with paper towels using a slotted spoon. This helps remove any excess oil. Sprinkle them lightly with powdered sugar if you’re going for a hint of sweetness, or just pile them onto a platter and serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
