Lasagna Bites, bite size spinach lasagna pieces, seasoned, breaded and fried, served with marinara dipping sauce for delicious summer movie-time snack.

Whenever I have my friends and family coming over for weekend movie time, I always ready some easy snack options which kids and adults will equally enjoy. Since everyone loves lasagna, these bite size Italian favorites were my first choice for a very special family spending summer vacation with us.

Lasagna Bites are not so spicy yet very flavorful with crispy coating, sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and warm marinara sauce for dipping! Plus it is very easy to fry a batch for snacking anytime. Just 10 minutes prep and this delicious snack fly from kitchen to snack table!

My husband's childhood friend is visiting us with family, his wife and 2 little kids, this summer. Other than their long list of recipes from my blog that they want me to cook... I have also received email of must-watch summer movies list. :) (best way to entertain kids during summer vacation - outings and kid's fav movies!! Isn't it?)

The hot in-demand movie list is:
1. The Jungle Book
2. Monkey Kingdom
3. Alice Through The looking Glass
4. Minions
5. Star Wars: The Force Awakens
6. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Luckily all of these are my favorite too. Ice Age has been my favorite movie of all time! I was also so excited to read "The Jungle Book" in the list. :) I grew up watching Jungle Boy Moglie and his friend Baghera in an Indian TV serial. When recently, The Jungle Book movie came, I watched first day first show!! Loved the cast and fell in love with "The Jungle Book" again! No wonder it's kids favorite!

  1. So good
  2. I am throwing a get together next month Savita and was scrolling Pinterest for ideas when came across this. These bites are just so tempting and colourful and I have added them to the list. Maybe I would try them between me and S first and if they turn out good, would serve them in the party.
    thank, Nupur! These lasagna bites are my fav to serve for parties. I hope you like'em when you get chance to try!
  3. Okay, how clever are you!? These are adorable and look SO delicious!! Thanks for sharing!
    thanks, Karly for so sweet feedback! These lasagna bites actually are adorable and delicious!!
  4. It looks great, but I wouldn't use canola oil
    Valera, you can use any kind of oil you prefer. Infact these lasagna bites can also be baked with just a spray of oil - 425, about 10 minutes!
  5. Hi, can I use meat lasagna?
    Hi Erika, yes you can use any lasagna of choice. I often use spinach or veggie for personal preference but fried bites are very versatile, use meat or even plain cheese lasagna is fine too. I hope it helps.
  6. This looks like perfect game night snack! I fry ravioli for snack all the time but never tried lasagna. I will try it soon!
    thanks, Tara! It sure is a great family-fun-time snack whenever you choose to serve it. :) Fried Lasagna tastes a lot like fried ravioli, only I find lasagna fries easily where ravioli often burst due to moisture sealed in try to explode. I hope you'll enjoy lasagna bites whenever you get chance to try! :)
