Gluten Free Eggplant Lasagna

This Gluten-Free Eggplant Lasagna is not only free from gluten, it’s also vegan since it uses a dairy-free mozzarella-style cheese. Dairy-free, gluten-free, egg-free? Tell me more! This “lasagna” substitutes pasta sheets for eggplant slices making it a healthy and wholesome lasagna alternative.

To make this, start by roasting the eggplant. While the eggplant is cooking, make a tomato sauce and a tofu substitute for the traditional ricotta cheese. When it comes to assembling the lasagna, layer up the eggplant, tomato, tofu and dairy-free mozzarella. Alternate the eggplant layers so that the middle layer of eggplant slices are crosswise to the top and bottom layer. This will help keep the layers together when you cut into it.

To make my Gluten-Free Eggplant Lasagna, you will need the following ingredients:

So, how do you make Gluten-Free Eggplant Lasagna?

Steps to make Gluten Free Eggplant Lasagna

1	Heat the oven and prepare 2 baking sheets	5
Preheat the oven to 400 °F and lightly coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
2	Roast the eggplant	20
Place the eggplant slices on the baking sheets and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until just tender. Turn once halfway through cooking.
3	Fry the onion	4
While the eggplant is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion, while stirring for about 4 minutes.
4	Add garlic, tomatoes, wine, basil, oregano, salt and pepper	1
Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute before stirring in the tomatoes, wine, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
5	Simmer and cook	10
When the sauce begins to simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
6	Make ricotta substitute	1
In a small bowl, mix the tofu, nutritional yeast and remaining tablespoon of oil together.
7	Assemble the lasagna	4
At the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread out about a cup of the tomato sauce. Place ⅓ of the eggplant slices on the sauce. Spoon ⅓ of the tofu mix on top of the eggplant and sprinkle over ⅓ cup of mozzarella. Repeat twice more and top with the remaining cheese.
8	Cook the lasagna	40
Cook the lasagna in the oven until it begins to bubble around the edges (30 to 40 minutes).
9	Serve	10
Allow the lasagna to stand for a minimum 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with freshly chopped basil.
