Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers into even pieces. Spread them on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast the vegetables for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly charred.
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Spread ½ cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Layer three lasagna noodles over the sauce, add half of the roasted vegetables, half of the ricotta mixture, and sprinkle ⅓ of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
- Repeat the layering with another ½ cup marinara sauce, three noodles, remaining roasted vegetables and ricotta mixture, and another ⅓ of the cheeses.
- For the final layer, place the last three noodles on top, add remaining marinara sauce, and sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Notes
Allow the lasagna to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Adjust salt and pepper as needed to enhance flavors.
