Vegan Lasagna
Vegan lasagna is a delicious and healthy option for those following a vegan diet or simply wanting to include more vegetable options in their diet. Below I present the recipe so you can prepare it at home.
Ingredients:
1 package of eggless lasagna sheets
2 cups of eggplant, diced into small cubes
2 cups of zucchini, diced into small cubes
1 cup of chopped onion
3 cloves of minced garlic
1 cup of diced tomato
1 cup of chopped spinach
1 cup of grated vegan cheese
1 cup of vegan bechamel sauce (see recipe below)
Salt and pepper to taste
For the vegan bechamel sauce:
1 cup of plant-based milk (oat, almond, coconut)
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a medium-sized skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil and add the onion, garlic, and diced vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for about 10 minutes until they are soft.
To make the vegan bechamel sauce, heat the plant-based milk in a saucepan over medium heat. In another saucepan, heat the olive oil and add the wheat flour. Stir constantly for a few minutes until a paste forms. Add the hot plant-based milk to the saucepan with the flour and mix well until the sauce thickens. Add the salt and cook for a few more minutes.
In a baking dish, place a layer of lasagna sheets on the bottom. Add a layer of cooked vegetables, then a layer of vegan bechamel sauce, and finally a layer of grated vegan cheese. Repeat the process until all the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of vegan cheese on top.
Bake the lasagna for 30-40 minutes until it is golden and crispy.
Serve the vegan lasagna hot, accompanied by a green salad or steamed vegetables.
I hope you enjoy your vegan lasagna! This recipe is very versatile and you can customize it to your liking by adding other ingredients.
