Eggplant Lasagna
Hi everyone! Natasha here from Salt & Lavender bringing you this eggplant lasagna recipe. It feeds at least 6 people, and it’s tasty! The leftovers are fantastic. It has plenty of sauce, and it’s a little messy to eat, but that’s the best part really. My husband didn’t even realize it had zero noodles until I told him, and he loves his carbs. He claimed the leftovers for himself. So, this low carb eggplant lasagna is a fun change whether you’re on a low-carb/keto diet or just want to try something a little different.
Eggplant Lasagna Ingredients:
Eggplants: I used two medium ones for this recipe Olive oil: to brush the eggplant slices with Lean ground beef: leaner cuts mean less fat to drain. Feel free to sub with sausage meat or ground turkey/chicken! Marinara sauce: use your favorite jarred kind or homemade Egg: to bind the cheese layer Ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella: this cheesy blend makes up the cheese layer! Italian seasoning and garlic powder: more flavor for the cheese layer

Tips on Layering Eggplant Lasagna:
The size of eggplants vary, and some may have more slices than others (especially if you slice them a bit thinner), so feel free to build another layer if two layers of eggplant don’t seem like they will be enough. You really can’t go wrong here.
Pro Tips:
If you want this to be spicy, add some red pepper flakes into the marinara/beef mixture. Feel free to swap the ground beef with sausage meat or even ground turkey. If you want to make this vegetarian, just use marinara sauce as-is, or sauté some mushrooms and spinach and add it in instead of the meat. You can definitely experiment a bit with the filling! For example, I kept it really simple, but you could sauté some onions and extra garlic with the meat if you wish.
