Steps:

• Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet.

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a deep fry thermometer over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Add the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs to 3 separate shallow bowls.
• Remove the lasagna triangles from the freezer and dredge in the flour, then the eggs, then the bread crumbs.
• Working in batches, fry the lasagna triangles in the hot oil for approximately 1 minute, until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain and let cool for about 10 minutes.
• Serve the lasagna bites warm with marinara sauce alongside.
• Enjoy!
