Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large eggplant
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 pieces lasagna noodles
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 cups marinara sauce
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Slice the zucchini, eggplant, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Arrange them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a clean towel to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Lay 4 lasagna noodles in a single layer over the sauce. Top with 1/3 of the roasted vegetables, 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, 1 cup of marinara sauce, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with a layer of noodles on top. Spread the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the noodles.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
