This keto-friendly zucchini lasagna is a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional lasagna.
Ingredients
Mozzarella cheese - 1 cup, shredded
Parmesan cheese - 1/2 cup, grated
Egg - 1
Ricotta cheese - 1 cup
Salt and pepper - To taste
Italian seasoning - 1 tablespoon
Tomato sauce - 1 cup
Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
Onion - 1 medium, diced
Ground beef - 1 pound
Zucchini - 3 medium, sliced lengthwise
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Place the sliced zucchini on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese and egg until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Layer with zucchini slices, ricotta mixture, and shredded mozzarella. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of meat sauce and mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
