Zucchini Lasagna with Low-Carb Ingredients

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zucchini Lasagna with Low-Carb Ingredients.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give an 8-inch square baking dish a light coat of cooking spray for easy cleanup.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take a paper towel and gently pat the zucchini slices to absorb any excess moisture, then set them aside.

3. Step 3

   In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, drizzle in some olive oil and add the ground beef, cooking it until it’s beautifully browned, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Once browned, stir in the low-carb marinara sauce along with a teaspoon of salt, oregano, and black pepper.

5. Step 5

   Allow this savory mixture to simmer for 10 minutes before removing it from the heat and setting it aside to let the flavors meld.

6. Step 6

   In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, an egg, another teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of nutmeg, mixing until everything is harmoniously blended.

7. Step 7

   Now, in your prepared baking dish, start by layering the bottom with zucchini slices.

8. Step 8

   Spread half of the meat sauce over this layer, followed by another layer of zucchini.

9. Step 9

   Next, dollop the ricotta mixture over the zucchini and sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on top.

10. Step 10

    Add another layer of zucchini slices, then pour on the remaining meat sauce, finishing with the rest of the mozzarella and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

11. Step 11

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and let it bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

    After this time, carefully remove the foil and continue baking until the top is a glorious golden brown, which should take about 15 more minutes.
