Sometimes, it's the simplicity of recipes that draws me towards it. This Eggplant Lasagna is as easy as it sounds.

Eggplant slices are marinated with salt & pepper along with olive oil. Instead of Meatsauce I have used Pasta Sauce and layered it with the Roasted Eggplant, the Ricotta & Egg Mixture, and the Mozzarella Cheese.

All of this bakes for about 30 minutes and is served with chopped Parsley and Basil on top!

Eggplant Lasagna is made without the Noodles. It's low carb and healthy. I serve this with my favorite salad and it makes for a perfect family-friendly meal, especially on Thursday night when we have Vegetarian dinner night at our place. Have you tried my Tex Mex Black Eyed Peas and Rice Casserole with Roasted Garlic (Vegetarian)?

I like to give a cool twist to traditional recipes as it suits my taste or as per my need. I love a Classic Lasagna. However, there are days when you just don't want to eat meat. It's for those occasions, these adorable vegetarian recipes come in handy for a delicious dinner which the kids will love for sure.

Lasagna for me is basically cheese and noodles bake. This Cheesy Eggplant Lasagna is so delicious...! Instead of Noodles, I have used Roasted Eggplant Slices and a quick pasta sauce in place of the Meat Sauce.

👩🏻‍🍳 How to make Eggplant Lasagna

Step 1: Roasting the Eggplant

First, trim off the head of the Eggplant. Choose a tall and slender Eggplant, because when you cut it out you will get nice long strips that will resemble Lasagna noodles. Cut thin strips of Eggplant. Toss them with salt, pepper & olive oil. Keep aside for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to soak out the excess moisture and place them in the middle rack of the oven. Roast them in a preheated oven at 400F or 200C for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Making the Ricotta Mixture

Second, in a mixing bowl, take Egg, Ricotta Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese, Salt & Pepper. Combine everything using a spoon and keep aside.

Step 3: Making the Pasta Sauce

Third, heat olive oil in a pan. As the oil shimmers, add the chopped onion and minced garlic to it. As the garlic gets fragrant, add 1/2 can of Tomatoes in it and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat. Add some Oregano, Salt, Pepper, and Sugar. Stir to combine and take it out in a separate bowl.

Step 4: The Layering

Finally, the last step is just basic layering. So, grease a casserole baking dish with oil. Start with a layer of Pasta sauce, followed by Eggplants, followed by Pasta sauce, Ricotta Mixture, and Mozzarella Cheese. Repeat until you use up all the Eggplant. Top with Mozzarella Cheese.
