This Easy Vegetarian Eggplant Lasagna is a flavorful, healthy alternative to the classic lasagna, featuring layers of roasted eggplant, creamy ricotta, and gooey mozzarella, all topped with a rich marinara sauce. Perfect for a light weeknight dinner or a meatless meal

Ingredients

Scale

  1. 2 large eggplants, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds

  2. 2 cups ricotta cheese

  3. 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  4. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  5. 2 cups marinara sauce

  6. 1 tsp dried basil

  7. 1 tsp dried oregano

  8. Salt and pepper, to taste

  9. Olive oil, for brushing

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and roast them on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes until tender.

  • Prepare the cheese mixture: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  • Assemble the lasagna: In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Layer the roasted eggplant slices on top, followed by the cheese mixture, and more marinara sauce.

  • Repeat the layers: Continue layering, ending with marinara sauce and the remaining mozzarella on top.

  • Bake: Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the lasagna is bubbly and golden.

 

  • Cool and serve: Let the lasagna cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding fresh basil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes on top before serving.

  • If you want a bit more texture, you can grill the eggplant slices instead of roasting them.

 

  • This lasagna is perfect for meal prep; it stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
