Gf Vegan Spinach Eggplant Lasagna Recipes

SPINACH EGGPLANT LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190C/375F degrees.
• Place the sliced eggplant onto a baking tray and brush with the olive oil on both sides.
• With a hot grill, place the eggplant under and grill until both sides are golden (turn over the eggplant once one side is cooked).
• Set aside.
• In a bowl, mix the spinach, ricotta, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
• Put a layer of the eggplant at the bottom of a greased baking dish.
• Spread some of the spinach mixture over the aubergine and cover in a layer.
• Cover this layer with a few spoons of low carb marinara sauce
• Repeat the layers until used up.
• Sprinkle the top with the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese and bake for 30-40 minutes.
• Eat and enjoy!

VEGAN EGGPLANT LASAGNA

Steps:

• Add salt to the eggplant slices on both sides and place them in a colander in the sink to remove excess water and bitterness for about 15 minutes. This step is optional, but if you omit it, your lasagna probably will have too much liquid.
• Rinse and dry salted eggplant slices well. Then grill them (or cook them in a skillet) until golden brown (no oil needed).
• Preheat the oven to 400ºF or 200ºC.
• I used a 9 1/4″ x 6″ x 2″ or 23 x 15 x 5 cm baking dish, but you can use any other rectangular or square dish you want.
• Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking or casserole dish. Top with a layer of eggplant slices (see photo).
• Spoon 1/3 of the vegan tofu ricotta over the eggplant slices and spread into an even layer. Then top with some vegan parmesan cheese (about 2 tbsp), some marinara sauce and another layer of eggplant slices. Repeat this step twice (our lasagna had 4 layers of eggplant slices).
• Finally, add some marinara sauce and parmesan cheese on top.
• Bake the eggplant lasagna for about 40 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Serve and enjoy.
• Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days.

VEGAN SPINACH AND MUSHROOM LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish with oil.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced garlic, fennel seeds and red pepper flakes and stir until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until they begin to brown in spots, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes more. Add the tomatoes, 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt, bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce is reduced and most of the water is evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, add the tofu, spinach, vegan cream cheese, basil, nutritional yeast, whole clove garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and nutmeg to a food processor and pulse until smooth.
• Spread a few tablespoons of the mushroom-tomato sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish and top with 4 noodles (it's OK if they overlap slightly; break 1 noodle into pieces to fill in any gaps if needed). Add half of the tofu mixture and spread out evenly. Top with a third of the sauce. Repeat with another 4 noodles, the remaining spinach mixture and half the remaining sauce. Finish the lasagna with the remaining 4 noodles and sauce. Cover with foil and bake until the lasagna is hot, about 45 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle with the shredded vegan cheese and bake until the lasagna is very hot and the cheese is slightly melted, about 15 minutes more. Let cool for a few minutes, cut into 6 pieces and garnish with basil leaves.
