Vegan Roasted Vegetable Lasagna

This vegan roasted vegetable lasagna is a delicious, healthy and has so much flavor. It's a twist on the classic Italian dish. Layers of roasted vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers are sandwiched between creamy vegan ricotta and tomato sauce, and topped with vegan cheese.

  • Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, followed by a layer of roasted vegetables.
  • Repeat these layers until you have used up all the vegetables and noodles, ending with a layer of noodles.
  • Spread the vegan ricotta cheese (if using) over the top layer of noodles, then sprinkle the vegan mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes
  • Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  • Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
