Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Dice 1 medium eggplant and 1 medium zucchini into 1/4-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. Step 2: In a large baking dish, spread 1 cup marinara sauce as a base. Layer 4 lasagna sheets, then 1/2 cup ricotta, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, and 1/3 of the roasted vegetables. Repeat layers, finishing with a layer of marinara and 1/4 cup fresh basil.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
