In this delicious zucchini lasagna, zucchini slices replace the noodles. This low carb, keto and gluten-free dish has all the wonderful flavors of lasagna, minus the extra carbs!
Using zucchini slices instead of wheat noodles in this tasty lasagna means that you don’t just get rid of refined carbs, you also enjoy the benefits of zucchini!
It’s not one of my easiest recipes. It requires several steps. But the final result is so good, so flavorful, that I think it’s well worth it.
Does it taste like regular lasagna?
Not exactly. And the texture is different too. But it’s an excellent low carb substitute. Zucchini slices don’t work as well as starchy noodles in terms of keeping the lasagna’s shape, so this dish is flimsier than the traditional noodle-based one.
But in terms of flavor, it’s another major victory to keto and low carb cooking, and another proof that the starches in many recipes merely absorb other flavors.
This dish tastes amazing. So good in fact that I don’t plan on making it too often, since I found myself having THREE, yes three big slices instead of the one I was planning to have. Yes, it is that good!
