roasted zucchini lasagne

Ditch the pasta & the carbs – roasted zucchini lasagne is layered with ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, spinach, garlic & thin slices of roasted zucchini. This gluten-free lasagne helps add more green veg to your diet. Adults & kids will both enjoy this light & cheesy vegetarian lasagne.

Having said that…I struggle with the whole label diets. This lasagne is low carb & it is vegetarian…but, regardless of what dietary label you might give a recipe, this is a really good main with lots of vegetables – exactly what I intended it to be & not for a particular ‘diet’. It’s also a great way to get your kids to eat more greens (there’s lots of spinach disguised in the cheesy filling). Serve it with a simple salad, some crusty bread & any carnivore won’t even notice there’s no meat.

roasted zucchini lasagne

Layers of thinly sliced, roasted zucchini, sauted spinach, onion, garlic, ricotta, mozzarella & parmesan combine to make a not only beautiful lasagne but also a wholesome one loaded with the healthfulness of green veggies. This is a great recipe for using up the abundance of zucchini during the summer months.

Servings: 6
Author: Lovoni

Ingredients

  • 8 to 10 medium-large zucchini, sliced into thin ribbons 1/8 to 1/4 inch (4mm) thickness*
  • olive oil for brushing on zucchini, plus 2 tablespoons extra
  • salt & freshly ground pepper
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 12 oz baby spinach leaves, chopped
  • 2 1/2 cups ricotta full-fat
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup flat leaf parsley leaves, chopped
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella
  • 1 cup finely grated parmesan
  • extra dill sprigs to serve optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Brush both sides of each slice of zucchini with a little olive oil. Place them in a single layer on the baking sheets, squashing them close together as possible (they shrink a lot when cooked). Sprinkle with salt & pepper. Roast for 15 minutes or until golden.
  • Grease a 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33cbaking dish.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion & garlic for 5 minutes or until softened. Add spinach. Cover for 2 minutes. Remove lid & stir until just wilted.
  • Combine ricotta, eggs, dill, nutmeg & parsley together in a medium bowl.
  • Place a layer of the roasted zucchini in the bottom of the prepared dish – one third of the zucchini. Top with half of the ricotta mixture & half of the spinach mixture. Sprinkle with one-third of the mozzarella & parmesan. Top with half of the remaining zucchini, spread all the remaining ricotta mixture over zucchini & all of the remaining spinach mixture over the ricotta. Sprinkle with half the remaining mozzarella & parmesan. Top with the remaining zucchini & sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella & parmesan. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden – you can brown the top for 1 to 2 minutes until a broiler, about 6 inches away from the heat source. Cover loosely & let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into 6 or 8 pieces. Serve sprinkled with extra dill sprigs if desired.

Notes

* a mandoline slicer works well for this. I didn’t use the whole of each zucchini because I didn’t want to get too close to the blade of the mandoline. I used the remnants for a zucchini loaf.

Our darling mum passed away last year. I hear her Our darling mum passed away last year. I hear her voice every day offering support & advice. One of my favourites is this simple ‘start how you want to finish’ advice. It was told to her when she decided she’d take care of her mum, my nan, at home when she became very ill & needed around the clock care. 
As a new year lies before us & we can make it anything we want. So go forth how you want to continue. For me that’s with intent, small reasonable goals, simplifying home & life where possible & taking care of myself both my mental & physical health. 
Last year was a fucker, this year I’m taking care of me. We are nothing without our health. 
Happy 2023 to those who’ve stuck around with me, especially during my absence over the last 12 months, & to the newcomers who’ve joined the Fresh Hunger community. Thank you for your support. I’ve got some fun, helpful projects coming your way I can’t wait to share with you all. L xo
