Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a large bowl, combine diced pumpkin and beetroot. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and herbs. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-30 minutes until tender.
  3. Once roasted, blend each vegetable separately until smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste. Set aside the blended mixtures.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet, sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent. Add chopped kale and cook until wilted. Blend with firm tofu and nutritional yeast until creamy.
  5. In the same skillet, sauté onion until translucent, add canned tomatoes and oregano, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until thickened.
  6. In a saucepan, whisk together dairy-free milk and flour over medium heat for about 5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Layer the lasagne in a deep casserole dish with tomato sauce, lasagne sheets, pumpkin mixture, tofu 'ricotta', beetroot, and bechamel sauce, repeating until all ingredients are used.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling. Watch for over-browning in the last few minutes.
  9. Once baked, let the lasagne cool for about 10 minutes to set before serving.
