How to Prepare Zucchini and Eggplant Lasagna [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Preheat your oven to 400°F, drizzle a large deep dish (15x12x2-inch) with olive oil and set aside. Into a large pot add your olive oil and let it heat up for a few seconds.
- Into a large pot, add your olive oil and let it heat up for a few seconds. Now add your onions, and let them sweat down on medium heat for around 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
- Now add your cubed zucchini and eggplant. Cook for 5 minutes and stir occasionally. Add all your spices and herbs. Stir well. Cook for another 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare your cashew ricotta by adding all your ingredients into a high-speed blender and blending until completely smooth and creamy. Set the mixture aside and take a look at your cooked down vegetables.
- It is now time to add your stock and tomato sauce. Bring this whole mixture to a boil, then simmer on low heat for around 15 minutes. Once your mixture has cooked for 15 minutes remove from heat and let it cool.
- Now make your bechamel. Into a small pot, add your butter. Let it melt on low heat. Once melted, add your flour and give it a good stir. Once a thick paste forms, begin slowly adding all your milk while stirring quite rapidly. You will notice that the mixture begins to look like a gorgeous cream. This is when you will need to add your nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and garlic powder. The mixture should be thin enough to easily drizzle over the top. Note — if this thickens too much after putting together your lasagna, simply add some water or coconut milk to thin it back out! 1-2 tablespoons should work.
- Now it is time to start putting together your lasagna. Place six sheets of lasagna down in the dish first, then 1/4 of the sauce (spread evenly), 1/4 of the ricotta (use a teaspoon or tablespoon of blob them around the sauce), and then repeat all the steps until the top. Drizzle all of the bechamel onto the top.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
