Eggplant Parmigiana Lasagna

August 14, 2020 By Gretchen 2 Comments

Yes it’s true two of the best Italian dishes just got married and had this amazing Eggplant Parmigiana Lasagna!

Eggplant Parmigiana Lasagna (Vegan)

Fresh eggplants from my garden inspired this epic lasagna recipe which, I will warn you right now, is not going to be an in and out procedure!

Believe me when I say you are going to have to block out several hours of your time and ban anyone from entering the kitchen while you are preparing the components that comprise this finished casserole!

From the tofu ricotta recipe to the most delicious  bolognaise sauce you will ever taste!

The eggplant preparation takes some patience but can also provide a little zen time too!

I show you 3 different ways to prepare the eggplant from the classic breaded and fried which I absolutely LOVE!

But I can’t handle all the added fat & calories it lends!

Another option is to roast the eggplant for a much lower calorie & very low fat version.

I also tried air frying the breaded eggplants and it was surprisingly good! I will definitely be doing it that way from now on and saving my myself upwards of 100 calories per serving just by skipping the fat frying!

      YES! Of course, I think I mentioned that in the blog post (or video?) not everyone likes the mock meats in which case just go pure VEG!
